Islands Agents Get Together
Australian islands agents have recently formed an or ganisation which they have called Island Agents’ Association.
The new Association has drawn up a list of objects, first and fore most of which (apart from mutual help) is “To promote and develop trade and goodwill between Aus tralia and the Pacific Islands”.
The executive operates from Sydney (the Hon. Sec. can be contacted through GPO Box 1901, Sydney), and the majority of foundation members have Sydney headquarters, but agents anywhere in Australia who operate in the Pacific are eligible.
Some of the member companies have roots that go right back to the beginning of organised com merce in the Pacific; others have more recently come upon the scene, but all are what their name implies the agent between the Island resident who wants to buy some thing or sell something, and Aus tralian commerce, and as such they have a unique and traditional place in the Islands scheme of things.
First office bearers are; Chairman Mr C. E. Tait; Vice-Chairman Mr C. Sullivan; Honorary Secretary Mr G D. Millar; Assistant Hon.
Secretary Mr. E. F Sharpe; Honorary Treasurer Mr. D. G.
Fraser; Assistant Hon. Treasurer Mr. P. Jackett.
