Eastman Robertson's barber's chair and request that, while wielding, the blade he should disturb the moth-balls of memory. He'll tell you all about New Zealand's bagpipe city from the year 187 CL when, as a child of six years, he landed with his parents at Port Chalmers from Bonnie Scotland, and transferred to Dunedin m a rowing-boat — the only available way! ' . J.E.R. has spent all his years m southern parts, chiefly m '■ Dunedin. Like all true Scots, he must have his. fishing, and has a penchant for mechanics. As a hobby, his interests m the ,latter have resulted m an ingeniously designed anti-dazzle motor headlight, which Robertson has patented m four countries. l|||l!lll!l!|lll|]|||IIIIII!i!lli!l!l]I!IM
