Mander And Bradley

Mander And Bradley, Queen Street, Auckland. Bush and Mills, Port Albert and Puhipuhi. Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand. Private residence, Mr. Mander's. Water View, Avondale. The firm of Mander and Bradley came into existence about sixteen years ago, when it opened up at Pukikaroro a large bush, which was afterwards sold to the Kauri Timber Company. The partners then retired from business, but in consequence of some misunderstanding with the company as to some other bush areas, they were compelled to enter business again, and built a mill at Port Albert. This mill is still running. The firm also worked out a bush at Waitakerei, known as Worsley's bush, where it erected a mill, and constructed a tramway over the page 422 ranges. By means of this tramway the timber was lowered about 900 feet in a mile, and the firm overcame great difficulties by its means. The Worsley bush mill has since been removed to the Great Puhipuhi forest, where the firm is now carrying on operations.
