George Thackwell That pay slip of Georges tells a lot about where this country has been and going , the Tax rate to be about 7.5% in 1938 with none of the bloody Taxes we have today and NZ was developing with major infrastructure in those years .
Josephine Morehu
Awesome wage equivalent of approx. $1000 in todays money.

Jon Hickford
And hardly any tax!

Pauline Sigglekow
What a keepsake to have that’s a treasure. I’m 1955 I was earning £8 gross I was 21 and I thought I was rich

Susan Barlow
Pauline Sigglekow In 1968 I was earning 10 per week.

Bert Chandler
Pauline Sigglekow A 1936 Ford flat head V8 was around 300 pound, this worker got 14 pound for 12 days, would take a while to save up. The difference between then and now, it was achievable then.
