CORNED BEEF FOR NAVY.
DOMINION’S CONTRACT. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, July 17. For the first time, the Westfield Freezing Company, Ltd., has secured the whole of the annual contract for the supply of corned beef to the British Navy. Previously supplies were drawn from several countries, hut tins year the total quantity required by the Navy amounting to over 1,000,0001 b in weight, will be supplied from the Westfield works.
During the past few weeks the company has been busy filling the contract which means extra employment at the works and in the tin and box-making industries. The beef is packed in one, two, four, and six-pound tins, and the bulk of the total quantity is now ready for shipment. The meat is shipped to the Naval Victualling Depot at Deptford, F.ngland, from which point it is distributed to various naval stations throughout the world. Corned beef is not used as liberally in the Navy as in former years owing to facilities for carrying fresh meat. However, the contract this year is larger, due possibly to the extension of the naval services.
