TRACTORS AVAILABLE FROM BRITAIN
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. ‘ I have been very surprised to read all sorts of statements in New Zealand newspapers recently about the non-availability of tractors from Britain. Nothing could be further from the truth,” Mr A. W. Snelling, Deputy High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, told todays annual conference of advertising managers of the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association.
British manufacturers were not only sending to New Zealand more tractors this year than over in the past, but also more than New Zealand had ever imported in any previous year from all the countries in the world together, said Mr Snelling. “On this business, I trust the men in the trade,” he said. “What I know for a fact is that even in those types of tractors which are supposed to be most difficult to get from Britain, namelv crawlers, British manufacturers have offered New Zealand dealers such numbers that experienced importers feel that the market be flooded.”
