The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Burton, J.

Burton, J., Baker, Confectioner and Family Grocer, Grafton Road, Auckland. Telephone 606. Bankers, Union Bank of Australia. Mr. Burton arrived in Auckland by the ship “Egmont,” in July, 1860. After spending eight years in the country districts, he returned to the city, and entered the employment of the late Mr. Charles Canning in Shortland Street. In 1875 he left Mr. Canning's service to start business in Hobson Street, in partnership with Mr. Bernie, another of Mr. Canning's employees. The firm experienced the difficulties that usually beset beginners, and the partnership was dissolved in 1878, when Mr. Burton removed to Grafton Road, where he has since carried on a steadily increasing business. His premises are freehold, and occupy one of the finest sites in or around Auckland. Mr Burton's business motto has been “Excelsior,” and he has found that by steadily facing difficulties he has been able to overcome them.
