Aparima Dairy Factory Company, Limited , Gummies Bush; offices at Riverton. This factory was established in 1901 in its present form, as a farmers' co-operative dairy factory company. The capital is £1,000, and the shares are held by the milk suppliers. Mr G. O. Cassels, of Riverton, is secretary and treasurer. There are seven directors, and a chairman of directors. The factory is about three miles from Riverton, and stands on ten acres of land. Its buildings are of the latest design, with every convenience for the making of cheese, of which nearly 100 tons were made in 1903. The plant includes a nine horse-power boiler and a small pumping engine. There is a piggery connected with the factory.
