Improper Practice The Go vernor-General's attention has been drawn to advertisements in the public Press in which his name, and exeerpts from His public utterances, are used by the trading companies in advertising their particular commodity.

This practice is entirely unauthorised and irregular and His Excellency desires it to be made known publicly, that. neither his name nor his photoi graphs are to be used in. any advertisement published by individuals or | firms for trading purposes, states a Press Association message.
