A WORD FOR THE BANKS.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the Feilding Farmers' Freezing Company, Mr. J. G. Cobbe, chairman of directors, said, inter alia:—
"As ifaany or you know, a determined effort was made in the early part of last year by certain big meat interests, to put both the Waingawa and the Feilding Farmers' Freezing Companies out of business. I know that at the present time it is quite a popular thing to throw mud at the banks, and speak of them as being parasites and bloodsuckers, but I want to take this opportunity of saying, that the farmers of the Wairarapa and the West Coast of this island are under a deep obligation to the Bank of New Zealand, and to the Union Bank ,of Australia for the loyal i manner in which those institutions stood | by the farmers' concerns."
