The Sash and Door Factory
The Sash and Door Factory
Is on Taupo Quay, and when in full working 'order gives employment, directly and indirectly, to about 200 people. Herd everything in the shape of joinery and turnery is turned out in a style equal to anywhere in the colony. Doors, sashes, mouldings, casks, buckets, fretwork brackets, tracery work, naves, spokes, wheelwright's work, in fact specimens of wood-work in every branch are on hand in large quantities. The immense piles of building material and of rare woods show that the local demand does not absorb the resources of the establishment.
