AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: Inverness is one of the best and favourably known properties in North Canterbury. It has been in the Rutherford family for very many years. It is magnificent land and will hold its pastures indefinitely. One could not estimate the potential and developments that could be done with this farm. For many years it has never been ploughed but could with all the arable land available, have its carrying capacity at least doubled. The homestead is particularly attractive, very easily worked, and the same applies to the garden. There is a very neat orchard and vegetable garden. The stock that comes off Inverness is always in the best of condition. Fat lambs are got away early and the fat cattle are keenly sought after in our local market. The owner is prepared to leave £20.000 on first mortgage for 5 years at 54 per cent, to an approved purchaser. Inspection of this property must be made by appointment with the Auctioneers. Any further particulars we would be only too pleased to supply. NATIONAL MORTGAGE and AGENCY CO OF N.Z.. LTD. and H. MATSON and CO. Auctioneers LANE NEAVE and WANKLYN Solicitors
