TO BUYERS * OF 1 Freehold Sections. FREEHOLD HOUSES, J OR SUBURBAN BLOCKS TO INVESTORS AND SPECULATORS 1 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 bsforo us, and properties near the centres of population are sure to become of great va!ue._ There is no colony in Her Majesty’s dominions which attracts so much attention at present as Now Zealand, and no part of N.Z. so generally alaptod 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 advanco of tho North Island, half of which may bo swallowed up at any moment by an EARTHQUAKE 1 And it h".s 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 bs more stable, sure, and permanent; hence, wo say, no one can possibly go wrong in buying in the present market. Wo 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 Hills from the other, surrounded with luxuriant verdure and park scenery, which, viewed by the “ soft light of the setting sun,” can not be surpassed in Old England. We have also properties near the TEMPLES OP MART, almost in the heart of the city, and for working men and mechanics we have plots i around tho 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 are compelled to realise. X. J 3. DALE & CO., CATHEDRAL SQUARE. Sewing Machines.
