The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Mr. John Adam

Mr. John Adam, the Senior Partner, is a native of Devonshire, England, a county celebrated for its hams and bacon. He gained experience of bacon-curing in his native county, and was afterwards engaged for the greater part of seven years in the trade in London. Mr. Adam emigrated from England to Queensland, where he remained about a year before coming to New Zealand in 1888. On arriving in the colony he entered the service of the Christchurch Meat Company, largely engaged in meat freezing and bacon curing, and remained in its employment for six years. After spending a year in Wellington with Dy-mock and Co., bacon curers, he removed to Auckland in 1894, and started the present business, which has been developed through his exceptional knowledge and energy.
