BEST TOBACCO MONEY CAN BUY
There is a good reason why Rothmans is the World’s largest selling – most wanted King Size Virginia. It’s simply that Rothmans extra length, finer filter and the best tobacco money can buy, give you a cooler, smoother, more satisfying taste. Try them yourself and you’ll agree.
ROTHMANS KING SIZE REALLY SATISFIES

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION NAPIER
Though somewhat marred by cold, wet weather, the Napier Industrial Exhibition, sponsored by the Napier Development Association, held in the new Dalgety and N.Z. Loan Limited woolstore, Ahuriri, attracted over 55,000 people to view the products of over 150 exhibitors. Shown here is the Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon. J. R.

Macdonald and Cadet Murray Waite setting up trays.

ROVING CAMERA
Early morning flames on an icy morning left one classroom gutted and the staff room and upper storey of the Hastings Central School badly charred recently. Children, hopeful that perhaps a holiday would eventuate, had their hopes dashed when it was announced school would resume on Monday. The Hastings Fire Chief Mr. L. Harlen received broken ribs during the blaze and required admission to hospital.
Who came out of this . . . if any? Well, believe it or not, the young Hastings driver, Mr. Frogley, received minor hand abrasions when he wrote off his car after striking a bridge at Havelock North recently. How lucky can you be?

TOP HAT 200 CLUB CABARET
Napier’s Top Hat Ballroom was the venue for the recent “Top Hat 200 Club” Cabaret.

Barnett, John White and Margaret Neale and Mrs. and Mr. J. Shepherd of Napier.
Just another example of the Top Hat thoughtfulness, was the presentation of a spray to every lady as she entered. Shown receiving her spray is Mrs. A. Alexander of Puketapu.
An enthusiastic reception was accorded 17-year-old Yvonne Thomas, who gave a polished display with pois.
