"NEW ZEALAND MONARCHS OF THE FOREST."

A FREE BOOKLET. That is the title of a booklet recently published to describe the great forests at Okarito, Westland South 10,000 acres of -which are to be worked by the Great Western Timber Company, Ltd. The pictures and description give a good idea of the timber wealth that awaits the advent of capital and the resulting operations of men and machinery. Expert foresters consider that there is no bush in Westland that will compare with this one, both as to the length of the bole and the numberof trees to the acre. One report says:—“ This block contains a enormous amount of timber, of which eighty per cent, at least is rimu. This is the beat bush I have ever seen, despite the fact that I was reared' in the South of Hawke’s Bay, th© famous Seventy Mile Bush, and since coming to this Coast nine years ago I have been intimately connected with all its milling ventures. In one spot near Otatoki Creek I counted within a radius of one chaim no less than fiftysix trees.” With timber like this ready for felling, with a world-wide hunger’ for. timber of all kinds, who can doubt that The Great Western Timber Company Lt., has a great future before it? Get in early; at least, learn what the venture offers to you by way of a safe and substantial investment.
