", . ■ c. t. 'wren; ■ n Mount Hobson Nursery, Remuera. * W. 3' Htjest & Co., Sole Town Agent/ BR AD SHAW'S GUIDE TO NBW ZEALAND. The extension of railway communication, the con sequent exceedingly rapid increase in the passenger traffic throughout the colony of. New Zealand, and the paucity of information—of a reliable character— now obtainable of the arrivals and departures of the va rious trains, coaches, mail and other steamers, and all methods of travel, render (the publication of " some trustworthy and authentic record of reference an absolute necessity. ' The subscribers propose to issue to the public a monthly "Guide," similar—as far as circumstances will permit—to the well-known "Bradhaw" of the mother country, containing Time-tablei compied with every possible regard to accuracy, and from' in formation obtained from authentic sources only of all Railways, Coaches, Steamers, *c., &c. The projected pnbliGation will also contain full information regard ing Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, Gener*l, Provincial, and Municipal .Governments ; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Beßcripttye Itinerary, and, in short, will be made as I replete with general and useful information as possible. ... .■ • .■::.-- ■.-,■ =': :-'i.'lj .:.. A siu£s I The want of a medium of Advertising for the whole Colony has long been. felt' by all commercial I classes., The publication now projected will, it is j confidently anticipated, fully fill that want, as it will »be the first aim of the subscribers to produce the work i • at a price which must ensure its being accessible to the whole community. It is calculated that an issue j of some thousands per month may be relied upon, which will be distributed throughout the entire Colony. The advantages thus offered to advertisers: must therefore be at once apparent. , , . i In submitting this prospectus to the public' of New ' Zealand, the:subscribers beg to give the asMi-nnce that every effort will be made to carry it but in its!l integrity, and render In proportionately as recognised; an institution in New Zealand,, as "Bradshaw's , Guide" is in England. I Terms of Subscriptions and for Advertising may be ascertained from the various agents, whose names will ihortly h* pubUihed in the local newupapert. ) ■is od ienm ivtooU DALaiiißß»*^EK!' |
