Margaret Goes On a Free Shopping Spree
Outdoor Girl Competition

It was a big month for Margaret Pollard, the 17 year old winner of the "Photo News" competition to find Gisborne's Outdoor Girl of the Year.

Not only did she win the competition, she was also a debutante at the St. Mary's Ball, and on top of that she announced her engagement, to Lawrence Stuart.

So when we took Margaret round the business houses of our contest co-sponsors, you can be sure that she had one eye on her glory box!

Come with us as she does the rounds of some of Gisborne's most modern shops......

Bags were an intriguing subject for discussion at Personality Bag Store

A good cook book is a must....and Bushnells certainly had the range

Music for the quiet hour.... Margaret chooses a record at Christies, in Peel Street.

Upstairs at Humphreys Furniture Warehouse, Margaret fell in love with this modern bed

As well as Max Factor cosmetics, Margaret got congratulations at Corn The Chemists.

Top prize came from Rita Pyke's Friendly Fit Shoe Store...a pair of Glamour Shoes

Margaret discusses Dorothy Gray Cosmetics at the Cosmetic Bar at Petties Ltd.

The profusion of gifts at Hammons Jewellers had Margaret choosing for a long time

At Melbourne Cash's big store, Margaret spent a happy time among the hats

At Williamson's Beauty Salon, Margaret's brunette locks get expert attention from Mrs Williamson

For a bride-to-be, Margaret found a visit to Howard's Downtown Store a rewarding experience

...and at Arthur Toye's she almost got lost in the bewildering display of fine dress goods

Another record...this time from Chrisps in Gladstone Road. Looks like a radiogram is a "must" for "Meg"
