Pryde, manager of the Papatawa Dairying Company, of Woodville, enclosed a letter in a cheese- which was being sent out of the factory. The cheese in du« course arrived in England, and eventually ended up in Mansfield, Notts. The following reply, dated December 3, 1923, has been received by Mr Piwde from Mr. S. Miller, a member of the staff of J. D. Marsden, of Queen Street, Mansfield, Notts; — “Your letter enclosed in cheese made on 28/4/23 reached our Mansfield store last week. The cheese is very well made, of good flavour, and excellent Quality. Our retail price for New Zealand cheese at the moment is Is. Id. per lb. We sell a quantity of cheese in this district, which is a great mining centre. We are situate 14 miles north of Nottingham, where our governor does an extensive business. He has over 40 shops in Nottingham district, and believes in sssisting New Zealand, buying as much cheese and butter as he possibly can for our trade. Both commodities suit our trade. Kind est regards.” In forwarding the letter, the principal of the firm, Mr. J. D. Marsden, attached the following note: —“The writer of the enclosed letter has been with us over 30 vears. I am pleased to bo able to add ipy tribute to the consistent good quality of New Zealand cheese and butter. One striking indication of its excellence is the fact that I do not hesitate to buy 1000 boxes of New Zealand butter or 50 tons of New Zealand cheese without a sample. Formerly we used to go to Liverpool or London to choose suitable dairies after inspection. I should verymuch value a report or two of conditions in your district. Our turnover is close on £600,000 a year. With all good wishes for your health and prosperity.”
