Mr. Poole is general manager of James Stedman-Henderson's Sweets, Ltd. manufacturers of Minties, and is one of the most outstanding figures in the confectionery industry in Australasia.

Incidentally it will be of interest to many in New Zealand to know that James Stedman-Henderson's Sweets, Ltd., have opened a factory in Graham Street, Auckland, manufacturing for the New Zealand market, and employing New ■ Zealand labour and material, only going abroad for those necessities that cannot he obtained in New Zealand. Mr. Poole's interests can now truly be said to be d'vided between Australia and New Zealand.
