Barber, Butchers, who have been associated with the Shaw Savill Company since the arrival of its first vessel in New Zealand. The association of J. & H. Barber (later Barber & Co.) with the Shaw Savill Company was founded, and has been maintained, by service—service backed by the I experience of three generations of butchers and that indomitable spirit which proved more than capable of coping with the hardships and disadvantages of early pioneer days. Today Barber and Company offer 78 years’ continuous service as a guarantee to one and all of the highest quality and entire satisfaction. BARBER & CO. BUTCHERS (Formerly J. & H.
