Four Square Man Print - Official Print Launched

After years of appropriation (most famously by artist Dick Frizzell) an officially licensed print of the Four Square Man has been launched today.

Mr Four Square is the logo of the New Zealand grocery store chain Four Square Store whose ultimate owner is Foodstuffs (Auckland) Ltd. Foodstuffs (Auckland) Ltd are pleased to announce the launch of an officially sanctioned print saying that "locals, visitors, overseas tourists and especially kids all love our very friendly Mr Four Square".  

The name Four Square emerged when J. Heaton Barker - the founder of Foodstuffs while talking on the phone, drew a square around the 4 of the date on his calendar.  He immediately realised he had a suitable name for the buying group, stating that "they would stand 'Four Square' to all the winds that blew".

The Four Square Man print is available from New Zealand Fine Prints - NZ's art print specialists since 1966.
