NZ Herald August 2nd, 1932
Here are a few shots from the old newspapers we found under the flooring at Rocky Bay, Waiheke.
Want a job as a model girls? Get that tape measure out!
Want to buy a section in Parnell for £25? Same price as a radio!!
Need your teeth done? Here's a good deal. About half a week's average wage of £5.
Remember this place, David? It was new in 1932!
Blurgh!
I guess these were quite a lot of money on £5 a week, but that 1926 Ford Model T would fetch $30,000 to $40,000 today, about an average year's salary. John Andrew Ford are still going, at the same business.
