THE commercial importance of Hokitika, and its extensive dealings with the West Coast Goldfields and the Australian Colonies, render a Business Directohy of those places, not only desirable, but an actual necessity. The Printers and Publishers of the present work, having previously brought out most successfully similar works in Dunedin and Inveroargill, undertake the present task wilh a feeling that the publio will repose confidence in their ability to produce a creditable Directory for this Port and the West Coast Goldfields — and certainly not inferior to any published elsewhere, • I lv addition to the usual features of ordinary Directories, the publishers intend to give a Lithographed plan of the Town, with tho numbor of tho various sections aud the Reserves marked thereon.
