Climbing up the Rungs
"When the war started I was an ordinary carpenter," said a witness before the No. 6A Armed Forces Appeal Board in. Palmerston North. "One day," he continued, "my next door neighbour, a painter, asked me to make him a ladder. I did this, and, and a few days later he asked me to make , one for his mate. Then I made half a dozen more, and these were sold before I had completed them. I have been snowed under for orders for ladders since that time , , and now have a factory operating, the sole product being ladders."
