Cheap Meat.

In the seventies, when Mr. Thelwall was the town butcher, there was only one price for meat. 4d per lb, roasts of beef and legs of mutton all being retailed with no advance for the better cuts. After a time Mr. Thelwall put in a sausage machine, the first in the Bay. The engine was purchased in Sydney for £100. Later Mr. Thelwall increased the power of the engine and crushed oats and page break page 95 maize for the hotels and stablekeepers. Sausages were sold at sixpence per pound.
