Bacchus Marsh Milk Company plans NSW factory
The Bacchus Marsh Concentrated Milk Company Limited held its annual meeting at Little Collins Street. President W. Grant outlined plans to create a new condensing factory in New South Wales to start next month and operate during the winter to exploit export opportunities. The drought had curbed Victoria’s output and some export business was paused. The war raised costs, but prices for products improved, enabling continued operations. A. M. Toaster (Buidale) was re-elected a director.
