Underwood Condenscry is situated about six miles from Invercargill on the Wallacetown Main Road and is one of the main centres of industrial activity in Southland. The milk supply is drawn from the surrounding districts, which are eminently suited for dairying purposes. The cows supplying Underwood are mostly of the Ayrshire type,and the Company has instituted a cow-testing department, whereby the suppliers can have their herds individually tested in order to determine which are the most profitable, a merely nominal charge being made for this service. The well-known and highly popular brand of Condensed Milk “HIGHLANDER” is manufactured and packed here by the Company who have made a specialty of this class of milk. The manufacturing process is conducted under strict sanitary conditions and every precaution is taken to produce an article of a choice, even and dependable quality. The brand has been established in public favour some ten years now during which time the output has grown enormously. Another department of Underwood is the Butter Room, where the cream from three outside Creameries and also home separated cream is churned and packed (or the local trade under the Capstan and Titiroa brands. Southland is pre-eminently a cheese producing district, but a certain quantity of milk for butter making still finds its way to Underwood.
