Excerpt:
“Another world, just 15 days away! Where Mt. Egmont rises in solitary grace. Fantastic Maori carvings survey the Thermal wonderland. The ethereal lanterns of myriad glow-worms light the famous grotto. The Wanganui River winds through jungle gorges. Alpine peaks tower in serried grandeur, and fjords cut deep into a verdured, rugged coast.”

This is a 86 yr. old original vintage ad removed from a 1938 publication and is not a reproduction of any kind.
