Messrs Gairity and Son, very old settlers in the Palmerston North district, have recently established an up-to-date bacon factory in the town, and have been particularly fortunate in securing the services of Mr J. White as curer and manager. This gentleman has had many years’ experience in this Hue; of business, . and is regarded as the most expert : curer in the Dominion-to-day. The 1 money invested is locaf cash supplied exclusively by Garrity and Son.' Althongu the firm only commenced operations a couple of months ago, their trade is rapidly expanding, and it has already been found necessary to not only increase the staff of the British Bacon' Factory, bnt to make additions to their premises, and extend operations In many directions. Storekeepers - tell the writer that there is a big demand for this firm’s bacon and hams, which are sold under the name of the Crown brand, and consumers generally speak in the highest terras of praise of the line flavour and qualiy of the firm’s goods. An' in- - speotion of the factory in Rangitikei Street, where Mr White, ably assisted by Mr R. Garrity and the staff, are at present working all hours to overcome the great rush of trade which set in almost immediately the factory became an established fact, is convincing proof that every detail about this British firm’s business is attended to. The utmost cleanliness is observed in every department. Promptly on the delivery of pigs thereto, the inspector i(3 communicated with by ’phone, and in a very feV? minutes a rigid inspection commences of all carcasses sent in, whether for caring on behalf of clients themselves, or sold right out to the firm, and promptly anything showing the slightest sign of disease is condemned and at once removed from the factory. Messrs Garrity are determined to maintain the already good name and quality of their hams and bacon, and the public should ask for the Crown brand, and insist upon getting it. No other is just as good. Remember the Crown brand—one quality, one price —sold under out own name, cured by an export, and guaranteed pure and wholesome.
