Mr. John Chambers

Mr. John Chambers came to the colony in 1864, and became a partner in the firm of Messrs E. Porter and Co., ironmongers. In 1887 he withdrew from that partnership to take the managing directorship of Messrs T. and S. Morrin and Co., Limited. When that firm was reconstructed, he retired from the directorship, and he and his son then founded the present business. Mr. Chambers has been closely associated with the advancement of Auckland, and especially with the gold-mining industry. He is attorney for the Waihi Grand Junction Gold Mining Company, and managing director for the Tui Gold Mining Company at Te Aroha.
