It is not often that investors in Gisborne have tile opportunity of placing their savings to. advantage in a genuine commercial enterprise which, while offering exceptional profits, has none of the speculative elements attaching to gold-mining propositions-. The rapid' rise in val les and increase of population in the city of Wellington are making it more and more difficult for those who are in-business in that city, to find suitable sites for homes within essv distance of the centre. The Gr icefield Syndicate have secured 217; acres of land which is all suitable for cutting up into residential sites, and tlie bridge over the Hutt River which the Wellington City Council is abaut to construct places this property in an .exceptional position as regards means of access. When the straightening of the Hutt Railway I.i-m----is completed this property will be within 30 minutes’ travel of the city and equal distance to Island Ba y and Miramar where land is selling at £6 to £lO per foot. There are many other advantages with this investment that can only be understood bv a study of the prospectus and plan, which may be obtained from Mr W. Lissant Clayton.
