TO BXJYEES 1 OF Freehold Sections. FREEHOLD HOUSES, OR SUBURBAN BLOCKS TO INVESTORS AND SPECULATORS IN CITY PROPERTIES. FOR many years past no such favorable opportunity as the present has presented itself for purchasing freeholds in and around Christchurch, The colony is just emerging from a state of depression which has resulted in a low market, but a glorious future is before us, and properties near the centres of population are sure to become of great valuo._ There is no colony in Her Majesty’s domioicns which attracts so much attention at present as New Zealand, and no part of N.Z. so generally adapted for settlement as Canterbury. Its advantages are greatly superior to the other districts. It has not the cold, raw, climate of the South, so trying to many constitutions. It is much in advance of the North Island, half of which may be swallowed up at any moment by an EARTHQUAKE! And it his vast plains of superior fertility, easy of being worked by the agriculturists. Christchurch will be the Melbourne of New Zealand, and not being subject to those spasmodic changes which characterise the capitals of colonies or districts dependent on gold returns, it will, no doubt, in its progress be more stable, sure, and permanent; hence, we say, no one can possibly go wrong in buying in the present market. We have sections on the north and west of the city boundaries, suitable for persons of means, beautifully situated, with magnificent views of the SOUTHERN ALPS from one side, and the Port Bills from the other, surrounded with luxuriant verdure and park scenery, which, viewed by the ** soft light of the setting sun, 1 ' can not be surpassed in Old England. We have also properties near the TEMPLES OF MART, almost in the heart of the city, and for working men and mechanics we have plots aronnd the belts and in the suburbs, and on the easiest of terms For clerks and tradesmen there are villas and substantial modern-built residences, at very low figures. A few Bargains for Cash, the owners of which arc compelled to realise. J. 13. DAJL.B & CO., CATHEDRAL SQUARE. Sewing Machines. VERTICAL FEED.
