EXPANSION OF INDUSTRY
(Press Assn.) CHRISTCHURCII, July 14 No fewer than 88 new factories have been established in New Zealand during tho last three months, according to the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Hon. D. G. Sullivan). lie said that, in spite of the impact of the war upon the industrial and economic life, manufacturers were continuing to show enterprise and new manufacturing units were still being established. "In many of the new units the raw materials to be processed are of domestic origin," said Mr Sullivan. "There has been a considerable expansion in the manufacture of wooden toys and also of metal toys from what otherwise would be scrap. The packing of foodstuffs has showu a considerable growth, while tho manufacture of gloves and leather goods has been extended materially. "Aii Australian concern interested in the processing of milk contemplates a big expansion in production. It has been satisfactory to see that the manufacture of black hose for schoolgirls has been successfully undertaken by New Zealand mills. They compare very favourably in price and quality with tho kinds previously imported."
