Prohibition ‘Who'S Who’ in New Zealand

Note—A widespread appeal was made throughout the Dominion for the names and records of those who merited inclusion in this ‘Who's Who.’ Great difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the needful information. Many stalwarts still living, modestly desired to be omitted, facts concerning those who have passed on were found to be scanty, and the task of compiling the list was rendered extraordinarily difficult. It is felt that there are many omissions; and that the data is in some cases meagre. It is hoped, however, that the record will be of service, if only as a foundation for a more complete list as additions and corrections become available.
