The poster on the side of the truck promoting a competition for £150 in the Sporting Globe. The State Library of Victoria listed in 1920 a Male factory earned about £ 204 per year so it was a decent prize.

For the non Victorians in the group, The Sporting Globe was printed on Pink Paper and was very popular prior to Television Football Replays. It was on sale 1- 2 Hrs after the VFL football games had finished, with match reports and results from all 6 games.
