NOTE:
Extract from “The New Zealand Railways Magazine”, Volume 11, Issue 10, January 1 1937:
The Railway Storekeeper
Of the thousand and one jobs within the railway service, few carry such heavy responsibility as that of the storekeeper. In theory, maintaining stocks of stores appears a relatively simple task, but when one thinks of the hundreds of thousands of items of equipment involved, upon the soundness and suitability of many of which depends the safety of human life and limb, there comes realisation of the importance of the storekeeper's work.
