A Word to Business Hlen ABRAHAM LINCOLN said: " When you spend a dollar at home you have both the goods and the dollar. When you spend it away you have nothing but the goods.” Although this wasjj uttered over sixty years ago, it is as true t@-day as it was then. Buy at home, and you have the goods and someone in your community has the money: buy away from home and the money is gone for ever.

Matakana Radiata Ltd. The Only Afforestation Company Selling An Actual Plantation. A Pure Gold Investment. The promoters of this Company rlo not make extravagant claims as to the profits that shareholders will get, but they estimate that the trees on the Matakana Radiata Ltd. Plantation will be worth from £t to £l/10/- each in twentyfive years Recording to whether they are Pinus Radiata or Eucalyptus. This price should easily be obtained on the stump, which equals £4OO per share. On account of the wonderfully cheap water transport and flat land the Company can, if they ..so desire, cut the logs and raft them to the mills, for (vide Mr. Gamman’s report) a few pence per 100 superficial feet, the' return <per share should then be worth, say, £6OO or £7OO. The third alternative is for the Company, in twenty-five years' time, to erect their own mills, fell and mill their own timber, , and each share should then return at least double the above figures. Electric-power for the mi 11 is already available from Tauranga. The Vendors Guarantee to Replace Any Trees That Fail to Strike For Three Years. What Auckland Business Men Think of Matakana.

What Mr. G. A. Gamman says of Matakana. “My opinion of Matakana Island as an afforestation proposition is that in all probability it will be unequalled from any point of view examined from fire, rainfall, suitable land, climate, haulage, handling and milling. It has the best conditions possible. It needs no boosting as it has sound actual facts in its favour that will stand the strictest inspection. The proposition can stand on its merits. I am pleased to be able to put my name to this report with a feeling that what has been stated will be hard to disprove. 1 may add that I have had a fair amount of experience in handling and loading timber in the Tauranga Harbour.” May 7 ill, 1925.

Parents Owe It To Their Ghildren To Lay The Foundation ©f A Substantial Nest Egg. The Remarkable Pine. The most remarkable feature about Pinus Radiata is its incredibly rapid growth. As a rule a three-year-old tree measures about three feet in height. After that period the rate of growth increases at a rapid rate, sometimes as much as from 6 ft. to t ft. vertical growth being made annually over a number of years.
