Business Head
IT .would not be much use a stranger landing m Dunedin and inquiring: "Could you tell where Mr. J. McDonald lives?" For the simple ■ reason that the place is full of 'cm — and not a few of them Johns ! . Albert, there is only one Jack McDonald, but he is pretty hard to get hold of, because he's encrusted m so many commercial pies. " ■ '. A man -wonderfully adapted to business organization, J.McD. has been a strong fibre, m the.. commercial, coils of Dunedin's progressive ropes for many years. Twenty years ago he was. mayor of the .city; what with urban councillorships, public committees- and boards, his fingers : seem to have b.een m all branches of .Givic, affairs ; '^Avhile his toes, at. one' time". ,qr -another, have twirled the pots of '.progress for nigh on every sporting body. ■"'' . It is not far wide of the mark to say of Dunedin: "The city that Jack helped to build." And he started out m life as a telegraph messenger!. :• .'■
