A book written to commemorate 80 years of the Rosco building, charting the history of the C M Ross Company, and the building, built by the company in 1927-1928.
In 1883 Charles Ross bought the Bon Marche in Palmerston North and began trading as a drapery and clothing store. The business later traded under C M Ross Co. Ltd until it was sold in 1959. The building in question now operates as the Palmerston North City Library.
