BC: I tell you what, not that 19 - the reason I can remember that, seventeen and six is that the Grand South Seas EXHIBITION was on in Dunedin, and when I took my first pay home my mother said, well, I don't want any of it, you go and - down to the exhibition and have a good look around, and you know, and I went down, and I came back without a [indistinct] but with a box of chocolates.

It was 1925 or 26; the EXHIBITION was on. 40 INT DOWN AT LOGAN PARK, THE SOUTH SEAS EXHIBITION? 42 +++ 2 text units out of 226, = 0.88% +++ Searching document int.Ingram, C.W.N.... CI:I don't know that it was. I just happened to drift into it but there was a professional wrestler who lived next door to my cousin. He taught my cousin and I to wrestle and he used to go around the summer shows and put on wrestling EXHIBITIONs because he ran a physical culture school and a school of wrestling and he trained and taught ju-jitsu and this would be an advertisement. 856 CI:No I didn't know any of them but it is best described by John Lee Children of the Poor. He came up in North Dunedin, was brought up in that area. No, not North Dunedin. He was in the Harrow Street area, You see Anzac Avenue was only put in during the EXHIBITION and that was a very depressed area and all round the fire station there were old houses, three room places which had been built when Dunedin was first settled and lined with Hobart town palings and I forget the name of the street that he lived in but it was in that area/ just fairly adjacent to the Railway Station. The first Railway Station was more like into the lower part of Rattray Street, by the Queens Gardens.

AI: Oh, that was the time of the EXHIBITION. Just before the Exhibition I think it must have been. 1925-26 was the Exhibition, wasn't it?

(MC: RIGHT) And then we shifted to mechanic street, when they got a bit more money and they managed to buy a house and then we shifted out to this end. 106 AI: Was that before the EXHIBITION?

We could have afforded it if we..the weekend you couldn't afford.. .even when we could afford it ... because mind you in 1927, 28, I would be 15, 16, secondary school, the start of the Depression time and Dad actually wound up his business; he just didn't want to risk getting any sort of deeper into economic trouble as it were, quite a number of people after the EXHIBITION .. there was a rea1 push along by the Dunedin and South Seas Exhibition it was down in Logan park in '24 and '25. Dad did all the electrical work for Fletchers who built the show and he made quite a bit of money and he sent Mum and myself home to England and we spent 3 or 4 month there. But I think that was a drain on his business and when we came back he decided that he wouldn't carry on..he got his apprentices jobs and then managed a petrol service station when they were building the Burnside works and his industrial experience and electrical experience was handy. 272 RM:Probably he had a foreman and 4 or 5 tradesmen and at least two apprentices ... I haven't thought about it these things in ages but I think about seven electrical contractors in Dunedin and after the EXHIBITION there was quite a bit of building going on on the 276 +++ 2 text units out of 722, = 0.28% +++ Searching document int.Maskell part 2... well that used to be the. . .can't remember. . .Dad through his work did work for them and he would get a couple of tickets, he got friendly with James .... was that his name. . .so naturally would occasionally go at night with Mum and Dad. He had quite a bit to do with the South Seas EXHIBITION in 1925. Logan Park. 252 MW:WHAT EXACTLY DID IT ENTAIL? WHAT WAS GOING ON? THE EXHIBITION? 254 RM: About a dollar now. They would be threepence, sixpence and a shilling which mind you, a journeyman's wage of f4, well a shilling was an 80th of that so .. 160 would be equivalent of $2 now wouldn't it? They would be at popular prices you know what I mean. Of course ... six figures attendance over the six months .... organising Dunedin city setting up an EXHIBITION for 1990 or something like that. 280 MW:WHEN HE WAS EMPLOYED FOR THE EXHIBITION IT WAS HIS OWN BUSINESS? 399 +++ 4 text units out of 743, = 0.54% +++ Searching document int.Mrs LMM '98...

But they were pretty, I can remember that. 629 +++ 1 text unit out of 939, = 0.11% +++ Searching document int.Roebuck, Lew... LR These places would take collars.

I was starting to get in the teens then. I think it was for one of the boarders. We kept boarders in our house. Dad never married. By this time he was a marine engineer and he used to go on the boats. 112 +++ 1 text unit out of 438, = 0.23% +++ Searching document int.Shiel, Miss... AB:WHERE WOULD IT BE?

I was doing kindergarten work, teaching kindergarten then and we just new at .. and we used to go there practically ..short over and stay there at night, didn't even come home. We had a marvellous time. I wouldn't forget that. We had to make an awful lot of stuff for it though being kindergarten. I remember guarding a Maori doll which was put on EXHIBITION I did the flax and the hair and I went into it thoroughly, frocks the Maori dresses did all that and things like that we did.

He had, when I'd go out there on the Saturday you didn't know who you'd find out there. Could have been Bert, he did a lot of work with the photographers from Paramount with Bert, taught them quite a bit and I remember we had to do 800 postcards for Bert for his Christmas cards you see, you know the Antarctic thing, and the ship, and the disc and the nat on it, well they didn't know how to do that. 667 +++ 5 text units out of 1071, = 0.47% +++ Searching document int.Wilson, Helen...
