CANNED RABBIT
NEW INDUSTRY AT THE DLUFF
OUTPUT OF 4000 CANS A DAY.
The port of Bluff has for many years been known throughout New Zealand principally for its oyster industry. In January of this year another industry was begun in the town, and in the past six months it has grown from the experimental stage to an industry of considerable size, and is now a, valuable asset, states the Southland News, This is the rabbit canning industry. From a factory in Bluff 4000 cans of- rabbits are being turned, out daily. This is regarded as a wonderful achievement considering difficulties which have been encountered.
Most of the work in the factory is done by girls and young, women, and to them must go most of the credit that this war industry has deservedly won.
