A NEW INDUSTRY.

Cabinetmakers anc! Joiners.

On the site cf the old rail wry station a building has, during the past few weeks, teen erected in which is Leirg carried on a new i'ldjstry to Pukekohe. Hitlmto, if residents of thii cii-trict require.! ary furniture mad', they sei.t to Auckland; if builders required any joinery ihey had to go cutaide the towr. To d?y there is no need of that, for within the new building all these requirements can be m:t. "Busy? Yes we have got plen.y of work," repli d the prapri.tors, Me:srs Allan sr.d McCli'itock, to a qusry from a "iim£3" representative. One ot the partneis was busy working a morticing maehi .e, "one of the very latest things in tt.is line," as the operator remarked. It was all very simple and very quick. ' Our ether machinery is tied up Ly tlx strike," remarked o e cf the tirm. "We have order d a t?n horn-power oil cngiti?, a band raw, a circular saw and a moulding m:chine; lut we can't say whan th>y will arrive. Why, ws can't even git glass to finish one of our windows." And so the tentacles of the strike cctcpus entwine themselves arcund industry. "Yes, we can make any kind (f furniture, and we've si eady started," he said, puinling to several articles of office furniture which were standing in the workshop in various phases of making. "We are prepared to make all of builder's j in:r;v," and he indicated a heap cf window sashes ai;d frames to slum that the firm had eornmsrc d this section oi their business. Both Mes-rs Allan ard McClintack zir imbued with a firm belief in the pots.Lilities of the town and district.
