Newton, John

Newton, John, Soap Manufacturer, Caledonian Soap Works, Kaiwarra. Telephone 202. Bankers, Bank of Australasia. Private residence, “Ravensh[unclear: a]ll,” Wellington. Mr. Newton, who hails from Glasgow, has had thirty-seven years experience in the soap trade. He arrived in Wellington in 1885, bringing a complete soap-making plant direct from his native city, where he had long been in business. Selecting the site of his works as above, Mr. Newton has constructed his factory on the latest and most improved plans. Some of the pans at these works are capable of turning out as much as twelve tons of soap at one operation. The buildings are well adapted for the purposes of a large trade, which extends throughout the entire Colony. The leading brands turned out at the Caledonian Soap Works are known as Borns' A1, made in tablets and bars, and Newton's Perfection Soap, both of which are registered.
