Sign change for building
The sign of the National Bank building in Oamaru as it is today (top), and the previous sign (bottom) which recently drew criticism from a reader of “The Press.” A photograph of the bank printed in the recently released book “Historic Buildings of New Zealand — South Island” provoked the criticism. Mr R. F. Lukey wrote to the editor of “The Press” and to the bank’s head office complaining of the unsympathetic manner in which the bank’s name had been written on the building. “The Press” sent a copy of the letter to the bank’s public relations manager, Mr B. D. Pope, who replied that the cause of Mr Lukey’s concern had been removed since the photograph was taken. He enclosed a more recent picture showing the renovations and the new sign.
