Wo have pleasure in bringing under the notice of those requiring farm implements of any kind—ploushs, disc harrows, drills,or any line of agricultural machinery-the claims Messrs P. and D. Duncan, the old established and wellregarded Ohristchurch firm, have for consideration. The works , owned by this firm, originally of modest proportion, have grown with tho town and the Colony, and honest workmanship, sterling quality, and merit in design, have established for Messrs Duncans' implements, the output of which must have increased enormously, a reputation which it would be bard to equal and still harder to surpass. That they havo stood comparison with the productions of other makers is proved by the fact that at tho lastN.Z. Exhibition seven first awards were secured with seven exhibits, a most satisfactory record. Messrs P, and D, Duncan have on our first page a notification concerning their business, to which attontion may be directed, and by whiolnt will be seen that the firm is suitably represented in the Woirarapa, at Masterton by tbe Blacksmith and Wheelwright Company, Limited (Mr George J, Wallace, Manager) and at Carterton by Mr E. MoEwcn. An indication of the reputation Messrs Duncans' miplomont works bear m our district is afforded by the fact that on each occasion of the Masterton Company requiring a manager, they havo chosen a man from this establishment.

Tho property, it should be meib tioned, is to bo sub-divided into allotments of 221 acres and upwards, Plans and all particulars may be obtained upon writing or telegraphing to Mr W.

; We have much pleasure in drawing at- ' tendon to an announcement in our ad--1 vertisiug columns from the Palatine Insurance Company, .Limited, nf Man. I Chester. The authorised capital of the Company is £1,000,000 sterling, the sub- ' scribed capita] is £'600,030, and [ the capital/aotually paid up is I £172,004, iKe reserve fund standing at [ £108,718. This company is one of the : most progreßsivo of insurance companies, ' and its financial position, from the fact | of its shareholders being drawn from the ' wealthy manufacturers of Manchester ' and other great northern towns, is ab- " solutely undoubted. Since the issue of 1 the last ynar'a report, the share list has r been increased by the issue of 26,000 £lO '' shares at a premium, and its reserve fund has been largely increased. Mr G. Laug- | ton haß been appointed agent for Has- ' terlon, and the Wellington district apent ' is Mr D. H, Maokinnon.
