Eltham.
Eltham is a growing town about seven miles south of Stratford, is provided with water and drainage schemes, and is also the centre of splendid dairying country. It is a convenient starting point for the Dawson's Falls house on
page break page 41Mount Egmont. Its industries include a large bacon factory and a butter box factory which supplies many of the dairy factories with packages for their produce, and also a co-operative dairy factory which is the second largest in the province. It is also the head-quarters of the Taranaki Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Association. Roto Kare, the lake a few miles from Eltham, is well worth a visit, as it has a sylvan beauty all its own.
