THE
UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA
FOR
BESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL,
The Union of South Africa is of Interest to Europeans in the Far East. If they are retiring oa pension, there are many pleasant South African towns in which to live. If they seek a, career, and have a -moderate capital, there is scope in South Africa, for planters and farmers. And for those in need of a holiday, the country is famed as a travel and health resort.
The climate is equable. It is sunny but temperate, being neither sa inclement in winter as that of Northern Europe, nor so enervating in summer as that of the East. It is a genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive.
The rougher work in South Africa is done by coloured labourers and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa. The larger towns are modernly equipped, and many of the smaller ones are very congenial residentially. There are numerous resorts-moun- täin, river and marine, for an occa- sional change, Sport is plentiful The cost of living and income "tax- ation compare favourably with those elsewhere.
Ia short the Union of South Africa is an uncommonly attractive country.
