-
The writing on this truck is only partially legible with the word "Resign" clearly visible on the side, indicating this truck is decorated as part of a capping parade mock protest. The image was taken in front of the National Bank of New Zealand building on the corner of Rangitikei Street and Cuba Streets, circa 1950s. A Capping Day procession, 'Procesh', first took place through the central streets of Palmerston North in 1935. Massey Agricultural College developed into Massey University in the 1960s.
