“The public do not believe we are short of sugar,” remarked the manager of the Windsor Confectionery Manufacturing Company to a Times reporter, “but the fact that we have been compelled to close down should be evidence enough for them. We are the largest sugar users, I suppose, in Wellington. Allow that all the other confectionery makers combined use the same amount as we do; our last year’s supplies amounted to about 7000 pounds a week; that makes a total consumption by manufacturers of about 14,000 pounds per week; there are in round figures 70,000 people in Wellington ; so that if you eliminated our trade altogether, what benefit is the public going to get? It works out at one pound each per week. These figures will prove to the public that the confectionery trade is not affecting their own supplies.”
A point for good housewives. Always use vSharlahd’s Baking Powder. Costs least; goes farthest; gives best results.
