THRIFT

The coming of Christmas brings to us the same problems of Christmas presents and again the inevitable question is being asked, “What will I give so-and-so?” One of the greatest difficulties is to select the type of present which will be acceptable, not only for the pleasure it gives, but also for the usefulness of the gift. Particularly is this so in the case of young men and young women. Many things may be found which will delight them for a short time, but the choice of a present, the benefit of which will remain with them in the future will point to the ideal in Christmas gifts. Shares in the Northern Building Society are a desirable type of present for the young man or young woman. These shares may be taken out in any name and the donor is at liberty to pay in whatever amount he pleases in order to give the shares a good start. Such a present combines the benefits of a systematic savings account and will enable you to give this Christmas, a present of lasting usefulness and pleasure to the fortunate person who receives it. The new group about to commence operations offers the opportunity of immediate participation. The offices of the society are situated on the first floor of Victoria Arcade, on the corner of Queen and Shortland Streets, and full details of the shares, which make such a fine gift, will be gladly given if you call or write. 8.
