DICK, Esck's, PROPERTY, situate at LOWER WAIRAU, Marlborough,1 4 miles from Blenheim, under "THE LAND . SETTLEMENT FINANCE ACT, 1908." , The terms are such that any bachelor with £400, or any married man with £500 in cash, is eligible and /able to purchase a block of from 2fd to<6o acres of this, the finest agricultural land to be obtained in the Dominion. a SITUATION. The property -is, situated on a good metalled flat road four miles from Blenheim. It would be a simple matter- for a tradesman, shop assistant, or j worker of any kind, to hold one or more of the blocks offered and still attend to his ordinary avocation. There is a school within half a mile of the property. THE 'LAND. v As to what the land is. we can safely assert that it is ABSOLUTELY CHEAP AT THE PRICE OFFERED: It is magnificent agricultural land, and will grow any cereal crop. It is splendid lucerne land, as is evidenced by a paddock now down; and it is first-class dairying land.. It will grow fruit to perfection. The late Dr. Home's homestead adjoining it was noted for its wonderful orchard, and the fruit now growing on the property further exemplifies this fact. The land is eminently suitable for market gardening. All root crops thrive splendidly, and for vegetablefs the soil is superb. ' ' The present owner has regularly grown crops of 70 bushels of barley, I§ tons of chaff, and 52 bushels of peas to the acre, and the previous owner has had splendid wheat crops. "We assert without fear of contradiction that the ' land is.' eminently . suitable for any cropY and will _ grow, any crop practically to perfection. We assert that for dairying it will in grass carry a cow to 1£ acres, and if lucerne is grown it'- will carry far more. ''.■■' i •. We assert that for onions, potatoes, beans, any seed crop, and for vegetables of any description the property is beyond reproach, whilst for fruit of'any description it is practically unbeatable. THE PRICE. The prices of the sections vary from £27 PER to £41 ACRE. THE TERSVBS. Each purchaser must pay in cash, a sum equal to 6 per cent, of his purchase money. Assume you purchase a 25-acre section at £40 per acre—£looo. Your deposit would be £60. Assume you purchase a 60-acre section at £40 per acre—£24oo. Your deposit would be £144. There are no large annual payments in reduction of your purchase money. Apart from your deposit you have simply to pay anaually: Interest at 5 per cent. To the Public Trustee, \ per,cent. Sinking Fund, | per cent. A,, total annually of 6 per cent. This can go on for 20 years. These terms are the best in the world. BLENHEIM'S FUTURE. That Blenheim is progressing is undoubted, and linked up and assisted by its advancement the value of small farms in the vicinity must increase., A Butter Factory is to be erected at Thurston this coming winter, and will be completed and ready for work by next spring. A Bacon Faotory is to be erected near Riverlands immediately. These two factories will serve to increase the annual profit from small holdings close to Blenheim. TO BUYERS. MR DICK has given us instructions to sell, but the property must be disposed of quickly, otherwise he must proceed with the sowing of his crops for next year. We therefore recommend those who consider the question of taking up one or more of the sections to inspect at the earliest possible moment and come to a conclusion as to whether they will purchase or not without a moment's deday. A DAY LOST MAY MEAN THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS GOT THE SECTION YOU WANT. j We invite inquiries, and will be f>leased to supply the fullest particuars to any bona fide purchasers.
