(Adverti-em-nt.) AN OPEN LETTER THE:SOUIH CANTERBURY DAIRY COMPANY, LTD. Certain statements having besn made by ~Vl<i>.srs John King and Co. reflecting upon the present management, of ' the •South Canterbury Dairy Company, I now draw the public attention to thsir falsity. 1. They assert that Filbert Jiutt:-r is being sold on i.s former reputation for the- "last six months, and that it is not what it used to be. This general assatbn is easy in make, and it is also easy u> refute, For the period under the 'management of 1905-6 the following are the. Government grad-. ina.s:—B9£, Si;. 91, 894. 90,. 904, 91, SO4, 904, £l, '92, 914, 93, 914, 93. v Under ilia manag.-ment 19C6-C7 Jor same p-riod 'following :uv the Government gradings:—924, 92, 92, 92i. 93, 92, 95. 92, 924, 90, 92, 92, 91, 91, 92, 93, 93, S3, 92, 93, 93, 914-. , - 2. King and Co. a:s:-rt that under former • management " First grate every time " now only fifth place at the YV inter Show Competition afc Dunedin. They omit to state, that last year the eompetition \v,w limited to .South Island, whereas this year the Xorth Island is included. The South Canterbury Dairy Company holds pivcb-vly the same place—second—in the competition Ixlwe-c-n •South Island competitors it did la.'t. They also omit to say that this year at Dunettin we got. 2nd and 3rd prizes for bes-t three boxe* of export butter, competing against 21 entries oyer the colony, as against 15 or.tries last year. 3. Xo one has more respect for the former manager that I have, but I am not prepared to sit. quietly by whilst an irate grocer, finding his chance of making larger profits out of the public diminishing, defames me. "Fact. o are chi.!;, (hat wiuna ding." WILLIAM r-OOLK, I certify the above, is a true statement of the grading points. W. G. GMFFIX, Secretary.
