Messrs W. Ross and Son. of Port Ahuriri, invited a number of business people to view their rope and twine making works yesterday afternoon. Among those present were Messrs il. A. Cornford, A. Stedman, C. H. McLean, A. Naish, N. Kettle, J. K. Goudy, F. 800, A. Loudoun, C. H. Edwards, J. Williams, and A. MeHardy. The establishment is now very complete, and with nil the machines going is a picture of busy industry. Thirty-five men and boys are employed. Nine bales of flax are used each day, and every month forty tons of rope and twine are turned out. This largo turnover has necessitated the working of three shifts of eight hours each, so that the manufacture of rope and twine goes on without cessation by day and night, a fine electric lighting plant being installed in the building. The twine is made from New Zealand flax, and the whole process of combing, spreading and drawing is very interesting. Almost every part of the process is done by machinery. Tho rope is made from Manila hemp, which is first prepared and then converted into yam, of which two or three strands are twisted into each rope. Other machines are used for putting imported yarn together for making seaming twine, and a loom for 'manufacturing coarse sacking for onion and potato sacks. To compare the work as carried on by Messrs Ross and Son with that done at old-fashioned rope works would be an interesting object lesson in the methods of modern industry. The pro. prietors deserve great credit for their enterprise. The town cannot have too many works of this kind, and wc are glad to learn that Messrs Ross and Son’s venture has met with such great success.

Laws for assistance rendered in the same manner. The balance-sheet, read by the treasurer, Mr W. U.
