Description

The presents were packed at the offices of the Manawatu Racing Club, alongside the premises of Reid & Grey Ltd, to be distributed by a number of Father Christmases with the help of local citizens. This was to mark the first Christmas after the end of World War One. This is the north side of Rangitikei Street, showing Queen Street intersection in the background.
