Centre Bush Flaxmill

Centre Bush Flaxmill (James Anderson Keith Proprietor), Centre Bush. This mill, which is situated near the Oreti river, within a short distance of the Centre Bush railway station, was started in 1904. The supply of flax is practically inexhaustible, and in view of this fact good buildings have been erected, and the latest machinery installed. There are two engines, one of eight horse-power and one of six horse-power; and the plant is complete, even to that for the baling of the dressed fibre. Mr Keith, who is owner of the mill, is referred to in another article as licensee of the Railway Hotel at Winton.
