APIA, March 19.
IN spite of bad times and unemploy ment, some specialists could make a good living in Samoa.
People in need of dental treatment have to go from Apia to Pago Pago (American Samoa), at very considerable expense, waste of time, and inconveni ence. An efficient dentist would undoubt edly do good business in Samoa. Re cently a family going to Pago for dental treatment spent about £50 in fares and expenses on the trip, in addition to the dentist’s bill.
There is also room for a good shoe maker and cobbler, who would be well employed by the European community, especially by planters, who wear out boots quickly on the rocky soil. Another “wanted man” is a watchmaker and me chanic, as it is years since our last watchmaker left Samoan shores and, since that time, every householder has accumulated a number of timepieces in need of repair.
Surely some tradesmen in Australia should be attracted by the possibilities of business in our sunny island.
