N.Z. BUTTER TRADE

HOW TO INCREASE SALES AT

HOAIE

SIGN'D DIRECT TO MANCHESTER

AUCKLAND, Jan. S. Mr J. H. Parker, of Leicester, who is on a visit to New Zealand, yesterday expressed the opinion that greater exploitation of the industrial centres of England by the Dairy Producer Board would result in increased sales at prices which c-ould be made to compare favorably with Denmark’s if more forethought were given to direct snppiy. New Zealand was too prone to regard London as the wliule of England, out mere was nothing to .stop butter being sent direct to Manchester within a radius of twenty miles of which was a population greater than ‘London’s. Another factor that would tend to make New Zealand butter popular in the Midlands was the fact that many of the Dominion’s immigrants came •from that part, and 'the feeling of reciprocity was even now apparent. Empire trade has made great strides in the past year and the fact that people at Home had relatives and friends in New Zealand would create interest in this country’s produce.— P.A. X N.Z.
