Otautau Roller Mills (William Saunders, proprietor), Otautau. This mill was established in 1884, as a water-power stone mill, and stands on a site of eighteen acres. Mr Saunders purchased the business in 1888, and in 1894 substituted a complete roller mill plant, which he specially imported. The mill was burned down in 1902, and has since been rebuilt in concrete. A new plant, including elevators, was then erected, with a producing capacity of two sacks a day. The brand “Roller Flour, Otautau Mill,” is well known throughout Southland. Mr Saunders' residence is near the mill, and is a commodious building.
