The Waikouaiti Cheese Factory (William Graham, manager), Waikouaiti. This factory, which was opened in 1888, stands on the outskirts of the town. The building is of wood, and the manager's house is situated at the rear. There are four vats, 16 feet long, and the machinery came from Messrs Wilkins and Company's foundry in Invercargill, and the boiler was made by Messrs Morgan, Cable and Co., Port Chalmers. Fifty-eight farmers supply milk to the factory, and about 2400 gallons are received daily. The average turn-out of cheese per year is 125 tons, most of which is consigned to London.
