“THE N.Z. TRAVELLER”

INITIAL APPEARANCE OF MONTHLY JOURNAL. SUPPLYING A TRAVELLER’S WANTS. “In making this our first appearance before the public, we intend to confine ourselves to a brief account of the objects for which ‘The New Zealand Traveller’ was launched, and an appeal to members of the United Association to support their new publication and assist us to achieve those objects which, summed up, are to support, protect, and promote the well-being of commercial travellers and warehousemen generally. This is usually the first duty of an editor of a journal published for the first time, and we make no apology for following the accepted plan, for we claim (and we believe time will justify our claim), that while we have not set out to revolutionise the scheme of things and shown any new method of attaining the ideal state, our policy is sufficiently practical to appeal to the commonsense of members, their faith in the United Association, and their hopes for its future.” Thus,’in an editorial of its first issue, the above magazine describes most competently what it lias made its appearance for, and what it intends doing in the future. A most compact and interesting journal it proves to be, and cannot but fail to provide for the commercial traveller all that fie needs on his tours.

There are in all 24 pages of wellprinted material, the excellence of whose printing is, however, only eclipsed by the interesting materia] that is contained therein. With the idea of bringing members into closer touch with one another, the paper cannot but and in its comprehensive surveys or the activities in the four centres, it has provided what has long been sought after. There are several fine illustrations, which go towards the brightening of the pages, and the good wishes which have been received from all oyer the Dominion speak well for the popularity it is sure to enjoy. The issne is crammed full of the reading that is wanted, shipping news, personal notes, hotel matters, a ladies’ page, accounts of conferences, and social movements; in fact, with everything that the traveller wants. The price is Bd, and it is an eightpence well spent.
