THE LOCAL FREEZING WORKS.
Since establishing a local freezing works for rabbits, Mr. Paddison, the manager, has encountered all sorts of opposition. Of course, it's a free country, and we all sell to the highest bidder,so that no claim on the score of values can be put forward. But, all things being equal, we feel sure the whole district will join with us in saying that the Rylstone freezing works deserve the first call, and if they fail to please, well - then it’s a matter for the seller to find the best market. But without desiring to advance any unjust claim for recognition of the local freezing works, we think, firstly, that its establishment is a great incentive for all to hunt bunny down; and, secondly, that every settler should do all he can to help it; and whilst we wish them all success, we must confess that, as in all other businesses, it must put up with whatever competition the trade at tracts, and there is no doubt but what the local concern can stand up against any competition that presents itself2 .
