Cate, James, Family Butcher, Willis Street, Wellington. Private residence, Wordsworth Street. This successful business, which was established by Mr. Cate in the beginning of November, 1895, is now carried on in his name, Mr. John Hume however, having joined the firm during the first month of its existence. The business, although in its primitive stages of prominence, has assumed the dimensions of many a larger establishment. The proprietors have male arrangements for a daily meat supply, which ensures their customers getting nothing but prime, fresh meat. The premises have floorage capacity to the extent of 400 square feet. Mr. Cate was born in Nelson, in 1857, and received his education in that township, at the public schools. He is a member of the Wellington Working Men's Club. Mr. Hume, who was born at the Lower Hutt, Wellington, in 1847, has resided in the Colony from that time up to the present.
