(Trade) Fair

All The Fun Of The

The Sydney World Trade Fair of early August was a crushing success. More than 200,000 people turned up one day and brought Sydney's traffic to a stand still. The success made it virtually im possible for genuine trade representatives to fight their way through to the P-NG stand and do business. But anyway, the publicity was good. The P-NG exhibit was organised by the Department of Territories, which invited private enterprise to take free space. Staff included New Guinea marketing officer M. J. White, of Port Moresby, Tolai agricultural assistant Robin Kumaina, of Rabaul, and John Akunai, a Goroka farmer. Other South Pacific interests took space at the fair, as the photographs show. There were 22 nations exhibiting.
