MANUFACTURE OF SPORTS GOODS
AUSTRALIAN FIRM INTERESTED IN NEW ZEALAND MARKET (United Preag Ansnoiation) WELLINGTON. This Day. Tennis, Badminton and squash rackets and cricket bats may be manufactured locally in the future if the extent of the market and economic factors are favourable. Mr W. J. Sheehan, president of the Tasmanian Chamber of Manufacturers, and manager of the Patent Racket Company, who is in Wellington owing to the heavy drop of business resulting from the import contiol regulations, intimated in an interview that if the economic aspects were not unfavourable his company would probably link up with one of the existing New Zealand manufacturers. Two difficulties were that timber must be imported, and the smallness of the market. Mr Sheehan said that he thought the New Zealand Government should have encouraged industries that supplied a wide demand, while leaving the limited industries to overseas suppliers.
