PROHIBITION WILL RUIN THE NEW ZEALAND WINE INDUSTRY BECAUSE The Vineyards planted under the protection of the law and with tbe encourtgement of the State will be useless! Tie grapes are totally unsuitable for tabie purposes. The Vineyards must therefore be ploughed up. THE PROHIBITIONISTS SAY THAT New Zealand Wine may still be used as A MEDICINE. The Vineyards are not planted to grow Medicine, but to make a Wine for the everyday use of the people. Don't allow yourselves to be misled. £300,000 has been expeuded on the Vineyards, and at least -100.000 hy the Government ln encouraging the Industry ! NOW ABOUT COMPENSATION. The Prohibitionists state Wlnemakers. Vineyards, Hop Gardens and Hop Kilns, and Malsters do not bulk largely in lhe question, and tosrether the compensation payable cannot exceed £100.000, probably less. The Wine-growers, under this estimate. cannot expect more iban £27,. 000. That means that the Wine growers will I.c robbed of _-T...000 in cash and thelr llfe's work gtne. PREVENT THIS INJUSTICE. Encourage tbe growth and use of local light Wines, and VOTE FOR CONTINUANCE. LET ELECTRIC BREEZES DISPEL THAT "STUFFINESS" WB HAVE THE COREEOT FANS. NATIONAL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINEERING CO,, LTD.
