Mr. Sarney came to New Zealand from London by the ship “Tweed,” in 1874, and was for fourteen years employed in a responsible position by Mr. R. K. Murray, of Dunedin. He commenced business in Auckland in 1892, when he took over his present works from Mr. John Buchanan, for whom he had acted as manager for about eight years. Mr. Sarney is now doing a steady and progressive trade throughout the colony. His main line consists in boiled sugar lollies of the purest kind. The factory is built of wood and iron, and is one storey; the shop, built of wood, is of two stories; and together they cover a floorage space of 7200 square feet. The plant at the factory consists of a two horse-power gas engine, with gaspan, rollers, marble slabs, sugar mill, etc., and is capable of a very large output. Mr. Sarney's trade mark is “Fair Play.”
