AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. CONFERENCES. CONFERENCES. CONFERENCES. fFHE Future historian will surely describe this as the "Conference" age. Vital issues are held in suspended animation while delegates wander round the globe to conference after conference, carrying flattery and pleasant nothings to each other and trying to conceal their lack of grip in misty formulas. Meanwhile the "experts" on each side are trying to reduce vague platitudes to brass tacks. They do not succeed, because they have no idea of the result they are expected to get, the decision is merely another Conference to find out what the previous Conference was all about. So the taxpayer who pays for it all must grin and carry on. A suggested Conference with the tax-collector ■would meet with official disfavour, and a postponement with the most frigid disapproval. In the meantime we are holding daily Conferences with buyers and sellers of Farm Properties, and the results are mutually satisfactory. It could hardly be otherwise when long experience, personal supervision, and intimate contact with land values in fill parts of Canterbury, plus a real desire to reduce differences to minute proportions, are the basis on which we meet. LET US QUOTE YOU. H. MATSON and CO., Land Salesmen, Cashel street, Christchurch. OPPORTUNITY COMES ONLY ONCE. SOMEWHERE there is a person with available capital, it may be you, who desires to own and enjoy a good home in the country—not too far removed from the city—one that will return a good income and give a satisfactory living. Perhaps there is someone with growing sons for whom an occupation is desired. It is probable an investment is being looked for that will show an increasing value without the risk that accompanies many city schemes and experiments in other property. For such a one, mpke a careful study of the following. This farm we have for sale is situated about 14 miles from the G.P.0., Christchurch, practically fronting on the sea, ensuring an excellent climate With a good average rainfall. Nestling in a picturesque and fertile valley, surrounded by well grassed hills, but not so as to be obscured from the sun and consequently free from frosts. There are golf links in close proximity, good fishing is always available, with delightful bathing in the summer. It is therefore in an area recognised for its scenic attractions and picnicking popularity. The farm is a freehold property of 80 acres practically all deep, rich soil carrying a heavy sole of cocksfoot, clovers, and other grasses, a small portion is comprised of sunny hillside land all ploughable, whereby an abundance of early market gardening products can be, and have been, produced in the past returning a handsome income, in this direction alone. Also for milking cows, rearing lambs, and fattening bullocks it has no equal. Another feature is that it is abundantly supplied with shelter plantations, thus supplying all firewood and fencing requirements. The homestead is a comfortable Ijouse of some six rooms, with other offices and conveniences, good garden, •well sheltered, and splendid orchard, comprising all tha popular varieties of local fruit. The necessary farm buildings are conveniently arranged, and include practically everything necessary to carry on the business of dairying or any other class of farming. The water supply is good, and can be reticulated to a great many convenient points. All fences, gates, etc., are in the very best of order. For further particulars of this solid investment enquiries are invited, and satisfactory reasons will be given for offering this desirable holding for sale. H. MATSON and CO. Fyou enter a shop or any other retail business premises to make a purchase of any article, and you ultimately make a deal at about half the original price, you leave the place Quite elated with your bargain - , regardless as to whether the purchase is that of a good article or not, but satisfled so long as the original price was considerably reduced; but how often does one get a good, first-class article at half-price? Rarely! But there are isolated cases. Now, with regard to land, the same thing applies, and here is an instance where we can offer one of the very best mixed farms of its size in Can--1 terbury at practically half the price that it was sold for a good many years •„agO' (not peak period).
