Points of Interest IThe Architect for the Hospital looked around for the . BEST MATERIALS both as regards BEAUTY and DURABILITY and after due consideration chose the “little red bricks” which were made by McSKIMMING & SON, LTD. at Waikiwi. Number of Bricks used was 1,193,000 This is therefore the WEIGHTIEST PROBLEM in the building of the HOSPITAL. Relief in design was given by means of the use of SPECIAL SHAPES and BLUE CLINKER BRICKS. 2 NEW ZEALAND MADE POTTERY was used in the , sanitary equipment, e.g., large fireclay porcelain sinks, baby baths, wall closet pans and lavatory basins: this will be of INTEREST to those who were formerly of the opinion that such HIGH CLASS GOODS could not be manufactured in New Zealand from New Zealand materials. 0 HELP OUR OWN COUNTRY AND OUR OWN w* INDUSTRIES by specifying N.Z. made SANITARY WARE AND BUILDING MATERIALS. McSKIMMING ; £ SON, LTD.
