WAVERLEY TOWNSHIP. SECOND SUCCESSFUL SALE. Seventy-two sections in fifty minutes for JCISIC 10s. That Is a short statement of the results of the Waverley Lund Company's second sale conducted by Mr Joseph Holloway at the Y.M.C.A. Hall last night. In the first sale Mr Holloway is said to have'established a record In land salesmanship, and now he has broken his own record. Waverley Estate has been well advertised. but tho best advertisement it has had was the first sale. The public obviously became attracted, and since then the agents have been kept busy taking up Intending purchasers to inspect, with the result that the second sub-division has been snapped up more eugerly than the Ilrst. The company is convinced that the demand for Waverley sections has not yet been satisfied and has decided to cut up a third block and to offer it I by auction at an early date.
