Jars of Butter. New Zealand Shops in Great Britain

Jars of Butter. New Zealand Shops in Great Britain.

Again, in Denmark I have noticed that several firms send out carefully-prepared butter in earthenware pots or jars, upon which the name of the dairy or factory is painted. The Danish firm of Sorenson Brothers, of London, is sending out this butter to the retail trade, and, I believe, is achieving good results. The practice is also adopted by a large factory in Brunswick which I had the advantage of inspecting a few years ago. This leads me to make another suggestion, which I believe will be found worthy of the attention not only of the Government of New Zealand, but of the large trading organizations connected with the colony. It is well known that a large number of attractive and successful retail butter-shops have been established in many of the large towns in England. I have seen some of these shops, and have been particularly surprised at the success which they appear to meet with at the hands to the public in such towns as Nottingham and Leicester. There is no reason why the butter-and cheese-makers of the colony should not adopt a similar system. They would possess this advantage: that, whereas the Danes supply butter and margarine, New Zealand produce would consist of butter and cheese, and possibly condensed milk.
