MESSRS VAILE AND SONS' CATALOGUE.

TWO MILLIONS' WORTH OF PROPERTY.

On a former occasion it has given us pleasure to review the excellent catalogue of properties issued by Messrs Samuel Vaile- and Sons, of Auckland, a firm whose importance and reliability is well known throughout the Dominion. The catalogue is excellently arranged and contains particulars of 2,000 properties, the estimated value of which is no less than £2,000,000. A map of the Auckland Province, so divided and marked, enables the reader at a glance to know exactly where any property is situated. Reference is made to a speech of the chairman of the Bank of New Zealand at the annual meeting on 20th June, 1907, in the course of which the speaker, referring to the transactions in country lands of the Dominion, said; "Of this area of 2,056,481 acres, 1,261,968 acres are in the North Island, and only 794,513 acres in the South Island, indicating very clearly that settlement is progressing much more rapidly in the North than in the South Island. Moreover the march of settlement is most noticeable in the Auckland Province, .where there happens to be the greatest scope for expansion, and where land is comparatively cheapest." The catalogue is certainly the best "got up" of any of the kind published in the Dominion, and is circulated exten-, sively in all English speaking countries. Messrs Vaile and Sons point out that the command of large sums of money enables them frequently to assist purchasers to do business, while their arrangements for showing properties to intending purrchasers are perfect. It would certainly be an act of wisdom for anyone desiring to make an investment in land to obtain a copy of Messrs Vaile and Sons catalogue for careful perusal.
