South Canterbury is one of the most attractive, sunniest, and healthiest places in New Zealand. Little or nothing is being done to advertise the district. The Government do not care a hoot about it anyway. If the district is to be popularised you will need to do the job yourselves. We have printed no less than ten thousand five hundred (10,500) copies of “South Canterbury Illustrated.” Will you do something toward bringing under wider notice the potential value of this section of the province by purchasing copies and posting them to your friends .n’i business connections. More dwellers in South Canterbury will mean an increased circulation of money and more money means more prosperity for us all. A copy of “South Canterbury Illustrated" and "Come to Sunny Timaru” will make an inexpensive Christmas reminder to friends far and wide.
