Tub and Bucket Factory.

Although there are several dairy factories in the district, none are situated in the immediate neighbourhood of the city The necessary machinery and appliances are mainly supplied from Dunedin. One branch of industry in this line, viz., the manufacture of tubs and buckets, is carried on very extensively by Messrs. Thomson, Bridger and Co, at their factory in Bond street. There is also a general timber trade combined with the factory. A great demand for tubs and buckets exists all the year round, and the factory is always fully employed.
