Description

This convenient chart, compact enough for a glove compartment, was likely distributed in the early 1930’s by R.G. Signal & Company, a wholesale rubber company operating in Hamilton. Encouraging the user to hit the road and wear out their tires, each side of the chart displays the total distance from various locations across the North and South Island, respectively.

According to instructions near the top, “the figures shown against the towns on this chart indicate the shortest distance from the town in the large slot above. To change town in slot pull up on the card inside.”
