Applying the elbow grease are Don Pepperell and Tom Burton, cabinet makers with the Russell Manufacturing Co, and acting as polishers at the time this pic was taken. Don is married and came from England and was with the Forest Service before joining the company. His hobbies include horse riding, sailing, languages (he speaks three not including Kiwi) and oil painting. Tom was born and bred in Nelson and is still single. He's been with the firm a year (his second spell). He backs a few horses, does some shooting and follows sport.
