DOMINION-WIDE ISSUE OF BUDGET Great Progress in Three Years. In a little over three years "Bettie’s Budget” has grown from a small local publication in Christchurch to be the leading racing and trotting authority in New Zealand to-day. The new Budget is larger than ever before, and the statistics are the best possible. With great organisation we are able to have the “Budget” on sale on Wednesday from Whangarei to Invercargill—a no mean feat in transport organisation. Advt.
