This branch is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and the Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS Aa (superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public. The Company would specially call attention to the fact that the COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKBD IN TUB SQUARE CAN (The right to which is patented), is the first sample from any part of the world that has been able to compete successfully in the London Market with.the best Chicago brand"* Hitherto the Colonial meats packod in the round cans, although called compressed meate were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was the first consideration' but meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir' alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation and placed on the register of accepted brands. , The following extract from tho lotter of the Company's Agents in London, tho No Zealand Loan and Mercantilo Agonoy Company (Limited), is referred to, who write follows:— " Wa have the pleasure to hand you herewith an extract from a letter received from the War Offlee.
