These mugs other items such as first aid kits and other items were awarded to contractors working on the Gas to Gasoline project at Motunui. I was the buyer for Bechtel Corp who purchased and arranged these to be screen printed, which was done by local companies in New Plymouth. I still have some cloth badges with this logo and was involved with its design.
