Abel Dykes

Abel Dykes, Ltd., Indenters, Importers, Printers, Engravers, Manufacturing and Wholesale Stationers, Bookbinders, Etc., Shortland Street, Auckland. Telephone 572. Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand. This business was established in 1887 by Mr. Abel, who was joined by Mr. Dykes about four years later. From a small beginning, a really fine business has been worked up. The firm has a wide reputation for high-class and commercial printing, and for the manufacture of account books. Its wholesale stationery trade extends throughout New Zealand and the islands of the South Pacific. The type, machinery, and plant are of an up-to-date character, and constantly being added to. A large assortment of plain and fancy stationery is kept in stock. At the beginning of the year 1901 the firm was transformed into a limited liability company, of which Messrs Abel and Dykes are the managing directors, with Mr. F. Rotherham in charge of the printing department. Under the guidance of its present directors and staff every success is anticipated for the company. Nearly forty hands are now employed, and there is no doubt that the popularity of the firm with its employees and the public generally is an important factor in its rapid rise. The esteem in which the company is held by British, Continental, and American exporters, enables it to buy in the best markets and on the most advantageous terms.
