APRICOT CANNING
NEW FACTORY FOR DUNEDIN.
UP TO 300 TONS YEARLY.
Dunedin, Sept. 21.
As a result of successful negotiations between two well-known northern firms of jam makers and fruit preservers, a large fruit canning and pulpmg factory is to be established in Dunedin for the purpose of handling 200 to 300 tons of Central Otago apricots every year. Fenders were let to-day for the erection of modern factory premises in the city, which will provide seasonal employment for at least 200 girls and a small number of men. The firms which are undertaking the new enterprise are Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Co., Nelson, and Messrs. Thompson and Hills, Auckland, and it is hopedto make a start with this season’s crop. The new venture represents a valuable . addition to local industry from the viewpoint of town and country alike, and will tend to stabilise the prices of stone fruits, which have always been subject to considerable fluctuations on this market
