A SOUND INDUSTRY. Investors in Nature's Fruit Bank of Nelson are free from fear of loss. This is proved by the official records, which are available for inspection by any member of the public. During the many years that the present Official Assignee for Nelson province has held the position, he has never had to investigate the affairs of a fruit-grower, nor has he ever heard of a private composition between a fruit-grower and his creditors. Experts declare that the best branch of Nature's Nelsonian Fruit Bank is at Tasman, where all the factors are particularly favorable, especially for the culture of apples. Sec the proof in the well-illustrated book, "Apples for Export," which the Tasman Orchards Company, Nelson, will post free to any address. The evidence is clear and beyond all question. The company has instituted a co-operative system under which orchards may be planted and managed until the owners are ready to take up residence.
