Flemington Dairy Factory (Mr. W. E. Bond, proprietor), Flemington. This factory was originally started by a company which competed for the Government bonus of £500 for the first fifty tons of cheese exported from the colony. The Edendale Factory in Southland, however, was awarded the bonus through a priority of ten days. Mr. Bond bought the factory in 1894, and has since then very successfully conducted it. The only difficulty experienced is in connection with milk, as the factory has a capacity for treating 3000 gallons per day, and cannot get a sufficient daily supply. The whole of the milk supplied is made into cheese and butter. The factory is considered to be one of the best built in the colony; the machinery is driven by a twelve-horse power steam engine, and the vats, presses and appliances are of the latest patterns. There are two large cheese-curing rooms in the building, page 852 and the factory is so situated that it could be used as a centre to work the whole of the Longbeach district.
