TWO SHILLINGS IS NOT A GREAT DEAL.

But it will buy you comfort ami plenty for your declining years. Tint terms are these: One share should yield at least £500; one share costs £2s— |Os on application, 25s on allotment, 25s every three months (or 2s per week) until the balance is wiped off. The advantages are: Luxurious and rapid growth of trees by reason of ideal situation, copious rainfall, proximity to timber markets, local and extraneous, security from fire, accessibility of the forest to Taranaki’s chief town —New Plymouth—which is also the nearest N.Z. port to Australia. Australia is sadly deficient in soft timbers and is quite able to use all the pine timber Taranaki can export. So much for pine. But the Taranaki Permanent Forests have foreseen the great demand for eucalyptus tilabor. This wood is hard and durable and is used in great quantities for telephone, telegraph, and electric light poles. It is estimated that 40,000 poles per year, representing £IOO,OOO. are now required for carrying overhead power. This is exclusive of extensions. Applications for shares should be addressed to: Thos. Barkla, Chief Agent, Taranaki Permanent. Forests, Ltd., P.O. Box 250, New Plymouth; or to the Secretary, Mr. S. F. Nielson, 85 Brougham Street, New Plymouth.
