“A FINE SPEECH”
PRAISE FOR MR. J. S. FLETCHER
“A COURAGEOUS MAM”
“I think it is the finest thins ever liberated in Nfew Zealand.” This is Mr. G. Finn’s tribute to a speech made at Napier by Mr. J. S. Fletcher, M.F., at Napier yesterday and published at length in yesterday’s Sun. At the weekly luncheon of the Advertising Club this afternoon Mr. Finn told those present that he was very pleased with the speech and that the Manufacturers’ Association proposed to have 3 0.000 copies of it reprinted and distributed. He hoped that everyone, from the new Prime Minister downwards. would read the speech. “If is a strange thing, that when the necessity arises, the right man always tuns up,” he said, “and I believe that: in Mr. Fletcher we have one of the greatest men who has ever come to the front in New Zealand If there were an election tomorrow I believe that Mr. Fletcher could stand for any electorate in the Dominion and get into Parliament. He is a man with courageous views and the ability to express them. “I am making these remarks personally,” continued Mr. Finn. “I have never spoken to Air. Fletcher in my life and I know him only through his talks.” Air. Finn remarked later that the Hail of Industries in the Queen's Arcade would be opened officially tomorrow. and all the show cases but two, had been filled this morning. Tile remaining two would be filled by tomorrow.
The Manufacturers Association was indebted to Mr. F. W. Fetterd, manager of The Sun, for the name ‘Hall’ of Industries.” It was the most apt name that could have been used. In the Hall of Industries the Association would have its shop window. The advertisements which had appeared in The Sun drawing attention to New Zealand made goods, had created such interest that people were asking where they could obtain the goods. This was one of the deciding factors in establishing the Hall of Industries. It would he a home for the manufacturers and a meeting place for the people of Auckland.
