Description

BON MARCHÉ LTD’S NAPIER OPENING

TUESDAY JULY 11TH 1961

Selwyn Toogood arrives in this Fiat “bubble car” to the hooting of an old horn and the cheering of the crowd

A man-sized pair of scissors for a pint-sized job – cutting the ribbon

Squeezing out, or falling out?…to the obvious delight of the crowd

Part of the tremendous crowd – the largest in Hastings St. Nth., since VJ day
