Wilton, G. R.

Wilton, G. R., Family Butcher, Adelaide Road, Wellington. Mr. George Robert Wilton is a native of Wellington, and served an apprenticeship to the butchering trade with Messrs. J. and H. Barber, with whom he was employed as a journeyman till 1879, when he started in business in the present premises. By care and attention to business Mr. Wilton has cultivated a good local trade, and makes a specialty of beef and mutton sausages. These goods are in great demand, and are produced by a sausage machine specially constructed by Messrs. Berry and Co., of Christchurch. The premises are of wood and iron, two stories in height, and cover a space of some 5000 square feet. Trams and buses pass the premises frequently during the day. A general cleanliness and business-like air are noticeable features of this establishment.
