The Feilding Star. TUESDAY. FEBKUAEY 3, 1 885 The Makino Butter Factory

The shareholders in the above company arrived at a wise and business-like conclusion whey they determined to carry on the factory in place of winding it up, as was proposed by one or two faint hearted individuals. That their have been faults in the management is more than possible, but these may easily be excused by the inexperience of the Directory, which they confessed when they accepted the office. It must not be forgoeten that the shareholders themselves are a good deal to blame in not having made the work of the Directors easier, by promptness in paying up the calls as they were made. It is impossible for men holding such a position to be otherwise than hampered when the funds so necessary in all new undertakings are not forthcoming. When the Makino Butter Factory was started, we said that the settlers of that favored locality had showed an example worthy of being followed by older places. They had the courage to begin an industry which the larger settlement of Feilding had confessed was beyond it. Thereby they earned the respect of all classes and induced many Feilding people who had faith in the institution to assist by taking up shares. In the new departure the company has now taken we believe that only new but well-known machinery will be purchased, and the mistake of buying second hand articles of any kind carefully avoided. The Directors ar j now assured of a spleudid supply of milk, with the means to turn it into cheefe or butter with economy and despatch, so a bright future appears to lie before them. We can assure them they have our best wishes.
