He has been visiting GisI borne and Coastal districts for close on twenty-one years, and has a-knowledge of the country that is possessed by very few persons living here. Mr Wallace can relate 'many exciting' instance oi the dangers at--1 tached to travelling from Opotiki to Gisborne by way of the Coast, and he has had many thrilling experiences since he first made this trip.

His genial face will be much missed by all old residents on the Coast, and we are sure that they will all join with us in wishing him every prosperity. His place is to be filled by Mr Murray, late of Robjohns and Company, Napier. As mentioned in our > issue of last Thursday, Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co. are extending their operations on the East Coast, and Mr Murray has been permanently appointed to Gisborne, from which place he will work all country districts. The firm’s many clients will thus be much better catered for, and we are sure that Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co. will add to the already large and extensive business that Mr Wallace has built up for them We wish the firm every success.”
