NEW POITERY WORKS.

It will be seen, by advertisement that Messrs. Wright ami Vincents J^ew Pottery Works are not? .sufficiently advanced to enable them to execute all orders ... which, may be entrusted to them. Some time ago we pointed oat the advantage ttase workd would be to the district when completed; and a recent visit fully confirms our anticipation. ; Space forbids us from ' giving a description of the machinery and plant employed. We . can only say that the whole of the. works are Jaid out j m such a scale as to enable the pro- , prietora to carry on a very large ' business.^ There }s no, doubt their expeoutions, m this respect, will be „ realised when it is remembered that; le osb of freight), on the larger drain tiles, and inieedon most kinds of^ pottery, has nearly equlUed the original price of the article. Messrsf. Wright and Vincent inform us that they are executing all orders at Auckland prices, and competent authorities say that the quaity is unsurpassed, the clay used .beiig admirably adapted for the purpose. Messrs. Wri*? hfc and Vincent do not, however, confine themselves to.,the. ; uset ul only. . They .are „nq.t., only going to enable us- to drain "all our swamps, bat a' so to beautify our gardens. We were shovvn samples.; of garden edge tiles, fljwer pots/ vases, garden urns, etc., which'- only require to bo more extemvelys known to command a large sale. We would recommend' all parties interested m the advancement of che district , to.-, pay a visit to these works, where, speaking from experience, they will be received with courtesy, and ev^ry information nfforded them. Messrs J. D. &K. Hill are appointed agents, and samples can be seen and price lists obtained ai their" marc m Hamilton. We shall watch the progress of these works with the greatest interest, as we hope chey are'only* the first of many local industries which might be. started m thg Wuikato should Messrs Wright imd Vincent's .enterprise meet with its due reward.
