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, he has determined, in connection with Waikato Ne\\ s, 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, and all the other blanches of a land and finance agent's business. The want of a central agency for the disposal of land aud real estate has long beeu 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 been lost to the district. My busiucss will be purely aud strictly on commission, and clients may rely on every effort being made to advance their interests. Parties desirous of selling lands, either town or rural sections, will oblige by at once foi warding me full particulais. Low charges will be made. — GEORUii W. Kt'hSELL ( " The Waikato News" utije), Cambridge. Cambridge, November 10, 1886.
