GENERAL MOTORS LTD.
OPERATIONS IN NEW ZEALAND.
REVIEW OF FIRST YEAR’S WORK.
From last Friday until Friday next the doors of the big motor-car assembly plant of General Motors, New Zealand, Ltd., at Petone, will b& closed and assembly operations suspended while a complete inventory is made. This marks the end of the first year of the assembly operations, which are providing employment, for some 250' New Zealand men and women.
In this time 2191 cars have been completely assembled, being made up of 2021 Chevrolets, 84 Buicks, 64 Pontiacs, and 22 Oldsmobiles. These are in addition to many hundreds of cars which have been unboxed, set up, and tested under the warehousing operation that forms part of the plant’s activities.
After the inventory has been made the plant will again swing into immediate active production, and indications are that an equally busy, if not better, period is ahead for this New Zealand industry.
