Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of the Company's Meat-preserving Works from Au rklund to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon x> meet current demands was taken by the New South Wales Government for the Soudun expedition, the Company has been unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which they may be favoured, » WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT.
