The late war has undoubtedly set its mark on the industrial life of this country, and a new era has begun for the manufacturer. J-nis is evidenced by the almost unlimited »copo for standardised work and mass prowl*!! that is open to engineering firms in New Zealand to-day. Prior to the war, the wages paid for skilled labour at Homo enabled exporters to flood tie market with machinery at prices which, to say the least of it, prevented local manufacturers from developing as quickly as could ‘be desired. Messrs Andersons, Limited, are now taking Advantage of tho improved manufacturing conditions hero to largely, increase their power of production. Nearly twenty years ago, this firm turned their attention to tho building of oil engines, with the result that they were ready for the almost unlimited market for power whioh was opened up by the advent of the modern milking machine, binoe then the development has been phenomenal, and to-day the demand justifies the steps the firm are taking to provide larger shops and improved appliances for manufacturing this speciality and other kindred lines Recently tho firm purchased thirty-five acres at Woolston with a view to establishing new central works to ensure increased efficiency in production and soiling. The firm is now issuing 50,000 7 per cent cumulative preference shares, particulars of which appear in our advertising columns. THE POULTRY MARKET. Messrs J. B.
