WAIKATO LAND AGENCY, CAMBRIDGE.— The undersigned begs to intimate that at the suggestion of numerous friends, and in order to supply a much-felt want, lie has determined, in connection with Waikato News, to start business as a Land and Finance Agent, and is now prepared to negotiate the sale or purchase of rural or town lands, loans on mortgages, aud all the other branches of a laud and finance agent's business. The want of a central agency for the disposal of land and real estate has long been felt in Waikato, as at present few facilities exist for either buying or selling land. Hence it is feared that many persons who might have been induced to become permanent settlers have beeu lost to the district. My business will be purely and strictly on commission, and clients may rely on every effort being made to advance their interests. Parties desirous of selling lauds, either town or rural sections, will oblige by at once forwarding tne full particulars. Low charges will be made. — George W. Russell ("The Waikato News" Office), Cambridge, Cambridge, November 10, 1836, {
