Is our advertising columns will bo found sill unuounuciuuntof iniportiinwj to farmers and all who have friends in tlio Old Country from Messrs Reynolds an-1 Co., of Fort-stroot, Auckland. It will ha seen this iirin are prepared to receive itonsigiinujnts of wool, meat, apices, and dairy or other produce, for stripiueut to England, where evory effort will be made to dispose of 'it to the best advantage. Prompt account sales will be returned, and full advances made upon consignments if required. In order to meet the wishes of those who may prefer selling to consigning, Mr Ed. Reynolds (the "Waikato agent of the firm), is prepared to purchase sheep in any number, which the firm will ship on their own account. This is ;t step in the right direction, and one which we feel sure tlie farmers of Waikato will appreciate, as those who arc not troubled with a superfluity of cash can fully roali.se upon their stock at once, while those who like to try the Home market have every facility for doing so. So far, the announcement is of interest to farmers only, but we now come to the part that should interest alt who have the advancement of the colony at heart. "We allude to that portion of the advertisement which nfers to Christmas presents for friends in Great Britain. This was a suggestion of Mr James Forrest at the- late meeting of the Waikato Farmers' Club, and without doubt it is the very best method that could be adopted for advertising, not only the produce of the colony, but also the colony itself, throughout the British Isles Mr Ed. Reynolds was present at the meeting, and he immediately "caught on " to the Suggestion, and the result iri that arrangements have been made whereby even the poorest of us may. if we think fit, present our friends across the oceiin with an acceptable Christmas present. This may bu d"iie with very little trouble to ourselves, all that is required being to forward tin: friend's address, together with a cash order for whatever is to bo sent, to Messrs Keynolds ami Co., in Auckland, and they will see that tho good-; are hiil'ely delivered in the" Old Country. The firm are shipping mutton, butter, turkeys, etc,, .so there is plenty of choice, and upon application the cost of sending a sheep, :i. turkey, or '.'VCU as low a iniiiutity as lib of butter, will be furnished to the enqnirer, who has only to post a letter and the transaction i< completed without him even mukiug -i journey to the railway station. A really good lurkay at Christmas time in England co-its from 15s to £1 Is and Messrs lteynolds and Co. will doubtless deliver a good one for much less than that sum. A lib pat of buHer (best gilt-edged) will be sent for "Js, so that places it within the reach of all; and what could remind the old folks at Home of their chicks scratching away in fi far distant land better than a pat of beautiful, sweet, fresh butter just at the time whoa their uwu is not, only high in price, but also reeks of turnips and artificial f.-ioda of various descriptions. We trust all who can afford it will think of their friends and send a little present, as we feel convinced it will be productive of much good.
