New Canning Company
A company under the name of Tassell United Cannery Pty., Ltd., is being formed to operate a pineapple cannery in the new year. It proposes to acquire the business of Glassop and Son, proprietors of Tassell Products, and may engage in inter-State and export trade. It is stated by the promoter that growers and small canners of pineapples fear that the industry may become monopolised and that the new company is being formed to combat any such tendency.
