Fibre

New Co. In N. Hebrides

Prom Our Own Correspondent A GROUP of business men and planters has formed, in Vila, a company under the name of “Fibroco.”

This company intends to treat coconuts, principally for the fibre—the making of copra will be only a side-line. Modern machinery for this purpose has been im ported from England, and is now in the course of installation.

The Company will operate on a fairly extensive scale and a ready market for its products is believed to be assured.
