In Lae

Prom Our Own Correspondent LAE. Jan. 17.

A BRANCH of the Bank of NSW will shortly be re-opened in Lae, New Guinea. A pre-fabricated building will be erected on the site formerly oc cupied by Eekhoff’s store.

Mr. W. H. Lawson, will be the manager of the branch; he is already well-known in the Territory and was stationed at the Salamaua branch before the war.

Residents are pleased that the “old firm” is returning to Lae. Most of them have banked at the Wales for years.
