DAIRY BOARD’S CHRISTMAS BOX
"Free’’Butter for People in Britain MISLED BY HEADLINES IN THE “DAILY MAIL” [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Last Night. The Dairy Produce Board is being deluged with letters from Britain asking for free samples of New Zealand butter. It appears that under the heading of "Free butter for Britain," the "Dally Mall” published a cablegram from its correspondent at Christchurch as follows: "The New Zealand, Dairy Produce Board has arranged for' people in New Zealand to make Christ, mas gifts of butter to friends in Britain. Cartons containing 41b.s of New Zealand butter will be delivered tree to any address in Britain with literature praising New Zealand enclosed in each carton, on which New Zealand produce will be freely advertised." Readers have evidently been misled by the headlines and hs.ve not recognised that the free delivery was dependant upon nomination and payment by friends in New Zealand. The Board is communicating with each of these correspondents, explaining where the error has arisen. It is unfortunate that disappointment should be thus associated with this method of popularising New Zealand produce, which has been largely used by New Zealand residents since it was instituted by the Board.
