N.Z. BUTTER FOR AMERICA
Arriving at San Francisco shortly after a small quantity of butter from New Zealand had been placed on the market there, the Dominion president of Federated Farmers, Mr. \V. N. Perry, told a meeting of farmers in the Bon Accord rooms in Gisborne on Friday night that he had visited one of the stores in company with a friend. New Zealand was permitted to send a small percentage of butter to former customers to keep her markets alive, he explained. In the store he visited he saw an elderly woman with a pound of New Zealand butter in her hand. Asked whether she liked New Zealand butter, she replied: "It’s the best butter in the world, why don’t you send us more?” She had paid the equivalent of (is 3d per pound for New Zealand butter. The commodity was in very short supply.
