Isaac retired in 1912, with sons Alfred and Leonard taking over the business.[1] In 1926, the business of Daniel White & Co was purchased. In June 1936, a new factory on land purchased from Holden in West Perth was opened by the Minister for Industry, Albert Hawke. In 1948, the company passed to Leonard's two sons.[1] In the early 1950s, Boltons bodied 40 Sunbeam trolleybuses.
