MOTOR AND GENERAL ENGINEERS.

MESSRS. JOHNSON AND SONS GUARANTEE BEST OF c 'WORK.

SPARE PARTS A SPECIALTY.

"It is now a little over threo years sinco we started business iu Alpha Road, Parnell," commented Mr. B. Johnson, manager of the firm of Messrs. Johnson and Sons, Motor and General Engineers, Alpha Road, near tho Parnell Railway Bridge. " Mr. C. Johnson went to England and secured tho latest machinery for the making of all snare parts for cars and trucks, etc. He .also acquired an up-to-date Heald cylinder grinder, a machine that was greatly needed in the Auckland province. With this machino customer?) can get their cylinders ground with a result that makes them equal to new." Mr. Johnson went on to say that they specialised in tiiat class of work and tho manufacturing of oversize pistons to suit. With their gear cutting plant they can make gears of every descriptionspiral. bevel, worinwheols, and worms, etc. "Wo import a special oil hardening steel for our crownwheels which wo guaransaid Mr. Johnson. "We also import direct from the Sheffield manufacturers our gear, vanadium chrome, and commercial steels, in this way cutting out tho middleman's profit and greatly reducing the cost to trie consumer. Our phosphor bron/.o user! for bushes, etc., is also of the best British manufacture. "Our present building, which wo at first thought largo enough for tho work we intended doing, is now proving to bo entirely inadequate and far too small for the ever-increasing business. We have therefore had erected at tho corner of Alpha Road and Carlaw Park Avenue, quite close to our present works, a twostorev ferro-concreto fireproof building containing approximately 50C0ft. of floor space, and we anticipate moving into these new premises during tho Christmas holidays. Wo intend to use the ground floor for our garago work such as repairs and the complete overhauling and reconditioning of both cars and motor lorries. Tho top floor, entrance to which may be gained from Alpha Road, will contain our up-to-date plant, as we have already said, for the making of gears, and all replacements for cars and trucks, et ?. "We wero fortunate in securing as our works manager Mr. Greenwood, who is a man of great experience iu tho motor engineering trade, and who was for many years foreman for Hoiland and Company. Customers can rely noon getting the most expert knowledgo obtainable anywhere. "Our past policy—that of supplying a first-class article at tho lowest possible cost—will bo contirn ed. By sending to us for your require lenta you can rest assured upon getting quality, economy, and entire satisfaction.' 1
