CROCKERY WARE INDUSTRY
COMPANY FORMATION AT UMARU. SUITABLE MATERIAL AVAILABLE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Timaru, Sept. 7. A company was formed at Timaru today with the object of establishing an industry to manufacture all classes of crockery ware. The raw material for producing the goods is to be obtained in the Alford Forest district in the Ashburton county where, according to the reports of experts, material for the manufacture of crockery goods exists in much greater quantities than anywhere else in New Zealand. It is the intention of the directors to erect works at Timaru on account of the location of the town as a distributing centre by land and sea. Nearly all the capital of the company has been subscribed in South Canterbury. Large quantities of coal suitable for heating kilns to a high temperature are also available on the property, to which there is easy access, roads already having been formed and bridges erected.
