Loeb, president of the Webster Electric Company, Racine, Wisconsin, stated: "I was amazed to know what a large and beautiful city Auckland is. I sincerely hope that one of these days I shall bo able to start travelling about the world and obtain a better idea of the places that I hear about but know nothing of; I have shown the book to others and they too were amazed." Mr. W. B. Gray, of San Francisco* writing on behalf of the Standard Gypsum Company, to acknowledge receipt of i* copy of tho edition which he had received in the last mail, said it was indeed a very creditable publication. Auckland had grown immensely and its beautiful harbour parks and various seaside resorts must make it a beautiful city in whicli to live. The Chamber of Commerce and the Advertising Club were to be congratulated on tho creditable manner in which they had advertised their city. Another letter from a Canadian firm' stated that they had no idea that Auckland was as large or as beautiiul as the booklet illustrated.
