The Big Bill for Jute.

New Zealand has spent many millions of pounds in the purchase of jute woolpacks, bags and sacks. During the past five years the expenditure has amounted to £530,000 for wool-packs and £1,580,000 for bags and sacks. The new industry will have an important national function in diverting such money to the use of New Zealand material and local labour, but it can confidently look further afield in gaining benefits for the Dominion.
