The description highlights a fine town hall kitchen with up-to-date appointments and a motto that only the best is good enough. The gas company offers labor saving appliances to reduce housework and increase leisure time for homeowners.
A detailed description outlines the new public hall with a grand entrance in granite and double glazed doors, a well appointed ticket lobby, extensive cloak rooms, a large supper area for up to 200, and a modern kitchen. It notes acoustics, lighting, and finishings including Queensland walnut veneer, terrazzo, Hawkesbury stone, and decorative ironwork.
The west end council chamber features a black wood panelling scheme chosen by the builder and architect. Queensland walnut double doors provide the entrance to the dais where the Mayor Town Clerk and Engineer sit on desks of the same wood. The rear dais paneling creates a dignified backdrop for deliberations.
A long list details attendees and outfits from a fashion display. Mrs Rushton wore red velvet. Mrs Rodda and many others in georgette, satin, and lace gowns with fur capes. Names span Warracknabeal to Melbourne, highlighting colors and fabrics in a vivid wardrobe showcase.
