FARMERS' MEAT WORKS.

THE QUESTION OF SITE. WAINGAWA v WOODSIDE. The directors of the Wellington Farmers' Co-operation Meat Company, in deciding upon the site to be recommended to the meeting of shareholders selected the Waingawa site as against Woqdside for the following reasons :• 1. Most of the roads of the Wairarapa converge on Masterton, and therefore a much larger quantity of stock- can be delivered on the hoof to Waingawa than Woodside. 2. A considerably larger amount of share capital can be placed if the works are at Waingawa as compared with any otlwr centre. 3. Masterton is a leading centre of the Wairarapa, and offers better facilities of housing of workmen, and for the repairing of machinery. 4. Masterton affords the best market for a ready sale of rejects and small goods. It may not be generally Known that the "greatest candlemaking establishment in the world is in England. It is that of Price's Patmnt Candi.e Company, Ltd., with two other large factories, one at Battersea on the Thames, and the other on the Mersey, nexr Birkenhead, covering together thirty acres, and giving employment to abou-. 2,200 people.
