IMPORTANT TO INTESTORS, IMPORTANT TO FATHERS AND MOTHERS, IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY. ~T\O YOU WISH for a good Investment I Then be wise and purchase a HOUSE SECTION. You cannot go wrong in buying land at a reasonable price, which increasing in value, and becoming less in quantity every week. Everyone should possess a home that he can call bis own, and the properties such as are now offered should not be missed. Young man, you may feel free and independent now, but you will want to settle down. Be wise and purchase a House and Section by instalments of payment that you will not feel the loss of. Saving leads to wealth j yet many < people go on paying house rent all their lives, and are either unaware how easily they may become house Owners instead of rent payers, or singularly neglectful of such opportunities as F. FERRIMAN offers. Do without luxuries for a little while, buy a Section and House What yon are now paying for rent will soon pay the of yonr property. No more landlords, no more rent. Anyone In active employmet of any kind can save enough to pay the instalment by catting down expenses. Wna many spend in cigars and beer, horse-racing and cards, would buy a House and Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings are small; make your expenses onl. a little less than now. Many will be ready to take It off your hands at a profit. It Is an axiom In political economy that should be written In letters of gold— The man who lives np to all he owns Is ill prepared for fortunes turns, But who spends less has home and health. Long life himself, his children wealth, Like drops of water, grains of sand That make the ocean and the land; The penny saved to sovereigns grows, What poor men hope, the noh man knows. —Baker, moore;street* ashburton extenston.
