Weekly pay rule at bakeries
Customers of Christchurch’s three largest bakeries will have to pay their bills weekly from now. This is because of a 78 per cent increase in the price of flour, which has jumped from $ll2 to $2OO a tonne, and the increase in the price of bread.
Bakers have always paid the Wheat Board for flour weekly, and the increase in price means that now they cannot carry accounts for more than a week. The three bakeries are Stacey and Hawker, Ltd, Brooklyn Bakeries, Ltd, and C. E. Boon, Ltd. The managers of all three bakeries said yesterday that most of their customers were satisfied with the decision, and accepted it. The manager of Stacey and Hawker, Ltd (Mr J. P. Devine), said his company had withdrawn any unusual terms of credit.
