To Employers requiring Head or Under Gardeners, 
Head or Assistant Foresters, or Farm Bailiffs. 
We shall be pleased to send our list of names and addresses of suitable men, 
with full particulars of wages required, experience and references. Great care is 
taken that no man shall be placed on the register whose character is not good. 
Our acquaintance with the men’s abilities and character cannot but be of service 
to all needing men, as the difficulty of selecting from scores of answers to an 
advertisement or from applicants of whom nothing whatever is known, is felt by 
every employer of labour ; frequently it is noticed that preference is given to an 
inferior man and much better men passed over.
