Description

Horowhenua locals will be familiar with the sound of RNZAF aircraft thundering overhead thanks to the Ohakia airbase in nearby Manawatu. Ossie Tong, a barber and businessman from Bulls, knew an opportunity when we saw one and offered special 'parade ground haircuts' at his barbershop!

His other advertising was brilliant as well- this cinema advertising slide would have caught lots of attention.
