TRADING HOURS DISCUSSED FIVE-DAY 43-110 UK WEEK SUGGESTED Wellington, This Day.

With the object of enabling the consolidation of the various sections of retail traders affiliated ter the Federation, to permit the affiliation of other retail trade groups not at present allied with other organisations, and pave the way for the consolidation of all retail interests, it was decided to change the name of the federation to the New Zealand Retailers’ Federation.
