Ka dP m SPECIAL SHOW EDITION From Farmland and Factory —Wealth of a Province Lifted from the shoulders of those sturdy twins, agriculture and industry, the Winter Exhibition is again laid before the people so that all may see the wealth of the province of Auckland. The companionship of primary industry and secondary, goes back deeply into the history of the province. At the second show of the Agricultural and Pastoral Society, held in the Royal Hotel on February 27, 1844, there was not only an “exhibition of grain,” but samples of the “first manufacture of colonial malt.” The faith of the early colonists probably expanded at these meetings and especially at the “after show” dinner, but did the most far-seeing of them prophesy the extent of the measure of to-day’s display? After a long estrangement, agriculture and industry “got together” in a resuscitated winter show, seven years ago. Each year it has improved and increased. Spread out over more than 100,000 square feet of floor space, it now waits the inspection of the public to which it can give instruction, amusement, and pride in province. Farmers have put forward their best in record-breaking dairy cattle —an innovation to any show—butter and cheese, ham and bacon, vegetables and fruit. Manufacturers, and Auckland is the first manufacturing city in the Dominion, have demonstrated the merit of their goods, ranging from footwear to fertilisers. Home and school, art and artizanship are all represented. “Movement” has been a watchword of the organisers every attempt has been made to prevent the exhibition from becoming a glorified shopwindow. In working display are the latest models of machinery and equipment for road, farm, and home. The lighter side has not been neglected. The showmen with their marvels, their games of skill, their parlours of amusement are at their ancient trades. “The show is on. Let them all come.” ' \ // JM ~ X f SF r/l 1 SsL * - •. -% \V\ ' L / ./ V A “v i MV
