Bigger Than You

It’s good to get some matters straightened out. Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, has lately been debating honours for the “big gest building in Rarotonga”, with the following results, as re ported in the “Cook Islands News”: “Sometime back we published in the Press the dimensions of the new Scott & Watson factory and claimed this to be the big gest private building in the Cook Islands. However, Island Foods Ltd. have pointed out that we are wrong in that theirs is the biggest building on the island, being 156 ft long, 32 ft wide and 18 ft in height.

“On checking our figures it is now proved beyond any shadow of doubt that Scott & Watson’s building is the bigger of the two, being 6,480 square feet to Island Foods 4,992 square feet. Scott & Watson’s factory therefore re mains the biggest privately owned building in Rarotonga.

Sorry, Island Foods.”
