conundrum

[Sarah Hurst]

I have never heard of the form "a confectionery and a pasta factories". I
can't believe it could be correct. Usually if we want to reduce we say "a
confectionery factory and a pasta one." That sounds a little odd in this
case, which is why I went with using "factory" twice. But it works if you
say "I saw a blue car and a red one". You couldn't say "I saw a blue and a
red cars".
