We have pleasure in introducing to our Wairarana readers the wellknown Wellington firm of East and East/who insert in our pages, todey, for the first time their list of farms for sale and exohange in" the various districts of the North Island. This firm is composed of three brothers, Messrs A. G., P. E., and A. J. Flast, who have had varied experiences in the accountancy, sharebroking and real estate business in many parts of the world. The latest acquisition to the firm—Mr A. 3. East—has just arrived from America with a thorough knowledge of the real estate branch of the business, and the many new ideas, and modes of business, whioh are practically unknown to the people of this Colony, proves his worth to the firm. Mr P. E. East, who has oht»rge of thfl aharebroking department, was formerly a member of the London Stack Exohange, and is thoroughly i versed in this branch of the busii ness. The senior partner of the i firm—Mr A. G. East—is too wellknown in Wellington to need comment, his lengthy connection as accountant to a well-known Wellington firm being sufficient evidence of ' his marked ability as a financier. 1 The firm are but little more than a » year old, but the rapid progress they have made during that time is 1 almost incredible. Prom their late offioes in Lambton Quay they have removed to more oommodions prei mises, and now oooupy,|undoubtadly, one of the finest sites in the city i at the oorner of Grey and .Feather-. . stou Streets, in Messrs Young and t Tripe's new building. They ocoupy the whole of the ground floor, whioh is divided into three departments, 3 i.e.. auctioneering and real estate, ' eharebroking and accountancy de--5 partments. The fixtures and fittings 5 are a revelation, the desks, coun- } ters, and seat work being all 3 modelled in oak. Elaborate eleotrio " light fittings go to finish off a well set-out suite of offices. The firm do I the whole of their business ! on the " American "Wabash" card, follow- '_ up system, and 'they assure, their I olients tbat through this method* , they are never lost sight of. The ' firm have a very extensive list of 3 farm properties, and are represented , in every city of importance in the ' oolony. They also are open to effeot' exchanges with Wellington proper--1 ties, and we can strongly recommend ■ prospective purchasers to oommuni--3 oate with this firm, who are full of " energy, politeness and promptness. ■ Dr. SnEiiDON's Tabttlb Digetives.
