That is the' title of a Booklet recently published to describe the great forests at Okarito, South Westland, 10,000 acres of which are to be worked by the Great Western Timber Company, Ltd. The pictures and description give a goon idea of the timber wealth that awaits the advent of capital an.d the resulting operations of men and machinery. Expert foresters consider that there is no bush in Westland flirt "'iff compare with this one, both as to the lengt i of the bole, and the number of trees to the acre. One report says: —“This block contains an enormous amount of timber, of which eighty per cent at least is rinuf. Thjs is the b est bush, I have ever seen, despite the fact that I was reared in the South of Hawke’s Bay, the famous Seventy Mile Bush, an since coming to the Coast nine years ago, I have been intimately connected with all its milling ventures. In one spot near Qtatoki Creek I counted within a radius of one chain no less than fifty six trees.” With timber like this ready for felling, with a world-wide hunger for timber’ of all kinds, who can doubt that The Great Western Timber Company Ltd., has a great future before it? Get in early; at least,, learn what the venture offers to you by way of a safe and substantial investment.
