Caleb
Wyatt
Senior
farmed
along
Carrington
Road.
As
a
farmer
he
was
exempt
from
service
during
World
War
One
but
his
family
remembers
that
he
always
gave
generously
to
the
war
effort.
The
family
would
have
come
into
New
Plymouth
on
Saturday
market
days
where
Wyatt
Senior
was
likely
given
these
small
advertising
tokens
as
a
gesture
of
support
and
appreciation.
