Notes J Grey and Sons Codd patent aerated water bottle John Grey (1874-1880) - J Grey and Sons (1880-1902) – Grey and Menzies (1902-1964) John Grey established his Eden Crescent cordial and aerated water manufactory in 1874, after buying the business from Charles Sutton. English-born John Grey migrated to Australia in the 1850s. In 1860 he crossed the Tasman and settled initially in Dunedin, and north to Auckland in 1867 setting up as a confectioner, importer and retailer at 187 Queen Street. In 1874 he purchased the Eden Crescent site from Charles Sutton and advertised as a “Patent Stopper Aerated-Water Works selling lemonade, soda, tonic, and all kinds of Mineral Water, Superior Cordial Liqueurs, Ginger and Quinine Wine and Sarsparilla” and still importing “all kinds of English Confectionery”. In 1880, having earlier sent one of his sons to England to learn about the business, John Grey brought his sons into the business which became J Grey and Sons, and began to expand, installing new machinery and setting up branches at Onehunga and later at Devonport and at Coromandel. When John Grey died in 1896 he had three sons in the business which continued to operate as J Grey and Sons until 1902 when the company merged with Menzies and Co. to form Grey &^ Menzies Later changes were as follows- J Grey and Sons 1880-1902; Grey and Menzies 1902-1964; Oasis Industries (with CL Innes Ltd) after 1964 Cannington Shaw and Co, glass bottle manufacturers, St Helens, Lancashire (1866-1913) This firm was started in 1866 when John Cannington and John Shaw joined together in a bottlemaking business. In 1913 the firm amalgamated with Nuttall and Co. into United Glass Bottle Manufacturers.
