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 Nhws, to start business as a Land and Finance Auknt, and is now prepared to negotiate the sale or pin chase ol ruial or town lands, loans on mortgages, and all the other branches of a land aud finance agent's business. The want of a central agency for the disposal ot luud and real estate has long been felt in Waikato, us at piesent tew facilities exist for either buying or selling land. Hence it is feared that many persons who might have been induced to become permanent settleis have, bepn lost to the district. My business will be purely and strictly on commission, aud clients may rely on every effort being made to advance their interests. Parties desirous of selling lands, eithei town or rural sectious, will oblige by at once forwarding me full particulars. Low charges will be made. — Gh>k<;k W. Rl^ell ("The Waikato New*" OiKce), Cambridge. Cambridge, November 10, 1880.
