CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION
GOOD MANUFACTURING EXHIBIT DESIRED DUNEDIN WELL REPRESENTED [Pea United Phess Association.) WELLINGTON, November 30. The hope that there would be worthy representation of the manufacturing industries of the Dominion at the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition in Wellington in 1939-40 was expressed by the chairman of the board of directors of the Exhibition Company (Mr T. C. A. Hislop) in an address to the annual conference of the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation to-day. The amount of space taken by New Zealand manufacturers had been small so far, Mr Hislop said. Dunedin and Wellington were fairly well represented, but Auckland and Christchurch had taken very little space.
Mr Hislop said the Exhibition would be the principal feature of all the celebrations to mark the centennial of the dominion. It had the very strong backing of the Government, both financial and moral, and for the purpose merely of organisation and control took the form of a public company. The share capital at present was practically all arranged for. Ho was not there to ask the manufacturers to take up shares, though it was open for them to do so.
