EVENING POST 30 SEPTEMBER 1933 |
The Acme brand appears to have been quite short-lived. Advertising only appears to show that they sold through E. Johnston & Co. Ltd Auctioneers in Wellington, and later through a store called Guys in Dunedin. There may have been earlier distributors, however no records have been found to show Acme sets being sold anywhere else.
