Newmarket Traders Welcome THE SUN Readers
There is no borough in all the expanse of Greater Auckland to equal, far less excel, Newmarket as a resourceful centre of shop trade and commerce. It is not only the gateway to the south; it is the pivot upon which turns all the commercial and industrial traffic to and from the north.
This unique location gives the compact Borough an outstanding importance as the receiving and distributing centre for a great volume of shopping business. Indeed, it might well be said that all the main roads to the areas of Auckland’s future expansion lead through Newmarket. Broadway itself is a city artery and, in its attractive shopping features has all the characteristics of a metropolitan thoroughfare.
Newmarket splits the City into three parts and serves a great portion of each one of them. For thousands of people in Parnell, in Remuera, and in Epsom, Newmarket is a clearing-house and a dependable depot. It offers all the advantages of the city shops and has fewer of their disadvantages, because shop rents are not as high as Rangitoto, and thus the scale of prices for city quality goods is not so heart-breaking. Moreover, Newmarket is still only on the threshold of development.
