Traders
Mr. D. C. Brown of Rarotonga has irons in many fires in the Cook Islands but his interests don't extend to the Avatiu General Traders, islands merchants, of Rarotonga.
We indicated that they did, in list ing businesses in the Cook Islands section of the 9th edition of the "Pacific Islands Year Book" and Mr.
H. S. Pemberton, managing-director of Avatiu General Traders, is under standably wrath. We apologise.
The entry was made in good faith and came, we thought, from an un impeachable source. Someone got their wires crossed and Mr. Pem berton would like it to be known that Mr. Brown has never, at any time, had any connection with AGV, which neither owns ships nor ex ports copra (like Mr, Brown), but carries on business as importers and general island merchants.
