SHIRT-MAKING TRADE By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, November 25 Factories were working at top pressure to meet the Christmas demand in the shirt-making trade, said the Minister of Supply (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) to-day, referring to the service manufacturers were giving in the expansion of industry. One factory estimated that its output this year would be more than 500,000 shirts and almost 1,000,000 collars. “Arrangements have also been completed for the manufacture in New Zealand of a world-wide marketed brand of shirt, and to cope with this new undertaking a new factory is to be built,” added the Minister. "The plant necessary for the new venture has already come to hand, and no time is being lost in expediting building to enable production to be undertaken.”
