Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 29 January, 1964. "From an earth-bound plant operator to a steeplejack is a big jump in one day, but it did not seem to worry Mr M. Hoare, an employee of Carbonic Ice, Ltd. In Tremaine Avenue. Mr Hoare went up 90 ft to paint a chimney above the factory. Asked what he thought of the job, Mr Hoare said: "All right. The bucket sways about 18 inches each way in the wind, but you soon get used to it." Mr Hoare is seen here up the chimney and in the "bucket" which lifts him up to his work." This is the first image.
