ESTATES OF THE CONSERVATIVE
LAND SOCIETY.—FOURTENTII PUBLIC DRAWING.

on the Order of Rights, for priority of selection of lots on the es-
tates bought for the Coneervatirn Land Society, will take place.
All Shares taken prior to the final numbers being placed lu the
wheel, up to the time of the drawing, will participate in the ad-
vantages thereof.

The unallotted estates are West Malvern, Worcestershire ; the
Rounihhill l'ark, Brighton (second portion), East Sussex; Oat-
lands-grange, Weybriolge, West Surrey; WoOdbUry-park, TUII.
midge Wells, West Kent; Castle-hill, Reading, Berkshire; Mull*
slow, close to the railway station ; Totteuhani-green, and St. Mar-
garet's, Richmond, in Middlesex.

subscriptions up to the time of the choice of a lot on any estate,
such selection being made or not as the member thinks fit. Five
per cent. interest is also allowed on subscriptions of a year in ad-

being the first monthly subscription (the subsequent payments,
being Ns. per month, with Is. every three mouths, in addition,
for quarterage for the expenses), in the name of Charles Lewis
Gruneisen, payable at 282, Strand, will secure the innumediato
enrolment of names in the Society's books. The Bonus declared
tbr the end of the first financial year, up to the 29th of September,
was six per cent. No partnership liability. The system which
is peculiar to the Conservetive Land Society, of establishing the
Order If Rights by completion, drawing, and seniority, has
worked so effectively, that upwards of 2,000 Shares are now on
the Register of Rights, of which nearly WO were drawn, and up-
wards of VS were by seniority. As a prudential, safe, sound, and
profitable investment, the claims of the Conservative land So.
Arty, presenting as it does well-lialsnced advantages for the
smallest inventor as well as the large capitalist, are undeniable.
The prompt withdrawal of shares by a member whenever he may
wish to draw out his money is insured. The practical super-
vision of an active executive committee over the whole working
of the Society secures fur the shareholders the most juilkdons
perelieses id hind, thus enabling the members to acquire eligible
around-rents, a kind of investment which is based on the firmest
foundation.
