"JOHN WILTON GORDON, whose death occurred on 12th January 1947, was associated with the firm of Messrs. John Gordon and Company, makers of machinery for sugar, coffee, and other products, London, for the very long period of fifty six years.
He was born in 1867 and was educated privately and at the University College School, London, and Aberdeen Grammar School. After two years' practical training with Messrs. McKinnon and Company, Ltd., engineers, of Aberdeen, he entered the family firm, founded by his father, as a draughtsman, becoming a partner at the early age of twenty-one. During his long connection with the business Mr. Gordon travelled widely; amongst the countries visited being those of Central America, the West Indies, and Kenya, in all of which he was well known and highly respected. He had several patents to his credit in connection with improvements to machines for the treatment of coffee. Mr. Gordon became sole partner in 1904 and continued to act as such until 1933, but though ceasing to be financially concerned, he maintained an active interest in the business until 1940, when he finally retired. He had been an Associate Member of the Institution for fifty years having been elected in 1897."
