The Todd brothers became major players in the New Zealand car assembly industry. This is their original garage in Heriot, West Otago, in 1925. Charles Todd had become a fellmonger (animal-hide dealer) in Heriot in 1884 with his son Charles. In 1915 Charles junior moved to Dunedin and formed a stock and station agency, Todd Brothers. This soon opened branches around Otago, selling Ford cars, and later trucks and tractors.
