Ward's Cooperage.

The owner of this old establishment has met the advance of the times by the introduction of machine aid in the construction of butter kegs, tubs, and other casks. The machinery is worked by a water engine. Timbers in use for the kegs and casks, are tawa and kauri, the former from its freedom from tannic acid, should, with ordinary care, tend to making the kegging of butter a matter of less risk.
