Selling Last Milk Rounds
After 63 years as milk vendors in the city, the Christchurch Dairy Company has applied to the Metropolitan Milk Board to dispose of two remaining rounds by the end of January next year. The company was founded in 1903 by Mr P. Watson, the grandfather of the present secretary of the company after he had bought out Nott’s Dairy, the board was told at its meeting yesterday. It had continued as a family business ever since, but had now sold its property in Tuam street. At one time the company carried out pasteurising and bottling, but later sold its plant and continued only with deliveries. In its early days, it was engaged in cheese-mak-ing, and was awarded a first prize at a 1906 exhibition. The board approved transfer of the two rounds involved at the normal goodwill rates.
