NEW FACTORY
EMPLOYMENT FOR SIXTY HANDS EARLY ESTABLISHMENT IN FORTH STREET To make final arrangements for the erection of a factory for his companies in Forth street, Mr W. R. Slack, works manager in Sydney for Reckitts (Overseas), Ltd., and Col-man-Keen, Ltd., arrived at Wellington by the Awatea from Sydney on Monday. The establishment of the factory had been decided upon before the Government imposed the import restrictions, but that action has accelerated the companies' plans. The construction work will be commenced shortly on a site which has already been prepared next to the factory of Messrs W. Gregg and Co., Ltd., which will operate in conjunction with the other firms. It is estimated that the factory will employ about 60 hands at the beginning. Blue, metal polish, and most of the other products of the associated companies will be manufactured in New Zealand.
