BUSINESS BRISK IN INVERCARGILL
PEOPLE SPENDING MORE FREELY LAST WEEK Business in Invercargill has been very brisk since the General Election, according to the manager of a leading city warehouse. In the last week or so before the election, he said, business was dull. Now that the Government of the country had been decided for the next three years, however, people were spending more freely, and shop keepers, as a result were getting in stocks to cope with the demand. In Dunedin there was the same activity. So great was the rush of business in the branch of the warehouse in that city, that members of the staff had been working overtime. Both in Otago and Southland orders were coming in very freely from town and country retailers, showing that the slight business recession while the future Government of New Zealand was in doubt was now a thing of the past. The warehouse manager expressed the opinion that this would have happened whichever party was returned. It was only reasonable to expect, he said, that business would pick up again when pre-election doubts had been settled one way or another.
