A Word to Business flTen 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 wasg uttered over sixty years ago, it is 'an true to-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. Get Your Printing at “THE NORTHLAND AGE" OFFICE, KAITAIA P.O.

Matakana Radiata Ltd. The Only Afforestation Company Selling An Actual Plantation. A Pure Gold Investment. The promoters of this Company do 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 £l to £l/10/- each in twentyfive years according t«s 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 mill 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. After thorough investigation, several prominent business men of Auckland were so impressed with the timber gnawing posMatakana Island that they acquired the freehold of 1000 acres at the extreme western end of the island and have been busy planting this area with Pinus Radiata trees. This syndicate is known as Monterey Pines Ltd. Following are some of the business men referred tt»: Sir James Gunson, Ex-Mayor of Auckland. Mr. Alan Brown, Bamford & Brown, Solicitors. Mr. S. Leyland, Leyland O’Brien, Timber Merchants. Mr. Henry Goldie, D. Goldie & Sons, Timber Merchants. Mr. J. M. Carpenter, Merchant, Newmarket. Each £2O Share Return from £4OO to £IOOO. 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 need-, no boosting as it lias sound actual facts inns favour that will stand the strictest inspection. The proposition can stand on its merits. I a m pleased to be able to put m e 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 /111, 1925. extract from Report on Matakana Island as a Timber Growing a id 5-« - Milling Proposition, compiled by Mr. G.
