LAND FOR SALE. McLAUCHLAN AND CO., REAL ESTATE AGENTS. WAIRAU PLAINS, MARLBOROUGH. XJE well advised, and at least oomo over to BLuheirn before settling elsewhere; you will not lx* disappointed as you cannot find a better district wucro living is cheaper and CLIMATE UNSURPASSED in every why. Beautiful sunny days; no very hot or cold winds, as the plain proper is sheltered by hills. SOIL UNEQUALLED. as Marlborough holds the record for largo yields of grain year in, year out, and the barley and wool grown has taken first prizes throughout, tho world. FUTURE PROSPECTS are abeoJuteiy unlimited, as the district has ai] its future bolero it in every’ way, as many groat improvements are to take place shortly. GREATEST OF ALL is going to be tho throwing open of tho ! large sheep runs, which will not only j double Blenheims population, but will treble the export*; and lead of now industries. N.Z. DEFENCE SCHEME IS URGENT AND NECESSARY, but more urgent and necessary is the opening up uf the laud for tho people, | as dost- to the town there are hundreds of thousands of acres hold by a few owners, and one estate alone holds j CO, 000 acres and commands both sides of a level metalled road for H miles. NO WONDER you never heard of Blenheim before, but yot you must admit if Blenheim and district has prospered like it has done in. tho past, that it is the best town ’o. Mew Zealand to buy laud in, as without a doubt these largo estates must bo opened to settlement. ONE LARGE ESTATE is already being subdivided, and others are going to follow. A MONSTER PETITION is being circulated to get the Government to buy another consisting of over 100.000 acres. Already 3500 signatures have been obtained locally. This is only a start, as every block has hundreds waiting for it, so many will be disappointed. BLENHEIM AND DISTRICT WILL BOOM, and very shortly too, as in what other town in New Zealand of the same situation and only half the prospects can you buy a quarter-acre for J 275 in the Borough, or 10-acro blocks at Aiso on tho Main Trunk Railway that is rich level land which some day must be built on? CHEAP BLOCKS. 1 ORACHES—IO 20—ACRES—20 £SO PER ACRE £SO. This land is situate one mile from the Main Trunk Hallway, close by tho growing township of Spring CreeK and four miles from Blenheim by good level motailed road. Some time ago we quoted sinlilar blocks same district at £OS per acre, but local buyers bought them for FRUITGROWING. This is similar land, only half-mile further away. It is cheap because there is not any survey to pay or laud to be given away in roads. Possession is given on March 31st,' 1912,' and one-third cash down is required. There are only 77 ACRES IN THIS BLOCK. Fourteen acres have been sold for delivery next year at £SO per acre. The balance of the laud is quite equal, aud has on it a good roomy.house worth £4OO, so why not buy the remaining 03 ACRES FOR £SO PER ACRE with the house given in. We can lease it for you at £2 10s per acre or 5 per cent, on the purchase price, so then instead of letting your money out at 5 per cent, you can buy this farm and get in rent £2 10s per acre, and if you sell it in three years f0r..£75, thus make £25 per acre profit and have had good interest for your money in tho meantime. You say £25 per acre is largo profit to make, but remember Blenheim’s future is before it, and this land is only one mile from the South Main Trunk, 4 miles from Blenheim, and 16 miles from the Port of picton, close ro a growing township where it must double m value.

PROOF. COME OVER AND INSPECT. The faxo from Wellington is only 20s return, and will be money well spent, as you will enjoy the trip. £lO DOWN and .£1 per mouth will secure you a Quarter-Acre for .£75 on a Now Suburb just opened up, where tho sections consist of tho richest of soil and are all level. Forty have already been sold to local r&idtnts. Buy one for your son and teach him to save his money. BLENHEIM TO-DAY has a Progressive Harbour Board, who are going to open up the river for far larger boats than tho s.s. Blenheim and Opawa which trado with Wellington. £65,000 is to be spent on water and drainage. Tho Wairau and Opawa rivers are to be bridged. Many new buildings and stores are to be erected almost immediately, A now wharf is already being erected at Picton, and THE SOUTH MAIN TRUNK is now; 30 miles South of Blenheim and is being poshed on to connect vrith Christchurch. THE NAVAL BASE is not yet finally chosen, as how can it be-when the . English -surveyor does not reach New Zealand until next year. P,cton is going to be that base, and then a railway will connect up the Wairau Valleys to tho West Coast; Wellington and Canterbury must fight for Picton in their awn interests. LAND MUST RISE in Marlborough, so bo one of the first to buy. McLAUCHLAN AMD CO., BLENHEIM.
