Fruiterers, Etc.

Bull, Reuben, Fruiterer, corner of Charlotte Street and Thorndon Quay. Established 1889. Mr. Bull was born in Bedford, England, his father being the original manufacturer of the celebrated Bedford cream cheese. For thirty-six years, Mr. Bull, senr., supplied this cheese to Oxford University, Tring, Ailesbury, Great Yarmouth, and many other places. Mr. Reuben Bull has resolved to give the Wellington public the full benefit of his father's famous discovery in special preparation of cream, and has arranged to manufacture and sell this cheese and other cream preparations. Mr. Bull was educated in the well-known schools of Bedford. After finishing at school, he was apprenticed to E. Page and Co., noted for their brickmaking machines. After leaving that firm, he served seven years with J. and Sir F. Howard, travelling as their binder expert. While with Howards, he leased a farm at Bromham, Bedfordshire, which he gave up to come to New Zealand. On arriving in Wellington he opened a shop, first on Thorndon Quay, but a year after removed to his present premises. Mr. Bull has been a member of the Thorndon School Committee, and is Chairman of the Wellington Fruiterers' Association.

Carson, James Henry, Greengrocer, Poulterer, Grocer and Sance Manufacturer, 65 Sydney Street, Wellington. Mr. Carson was formerly in business in Molesworth Street, and took his premises in 1894. The building, which is erected on freehold ground, is of wood and iron, and consists of shop and dwelling-house. The shop has a frontage of about thirty-four feet to Sydney Street. Besides carrying on the business of a greengrocer and poulterer, Mr. Carson manufactures sauces, pickles, and vinegar. His tomato sauce commands a ready sale. A good general stock of groceries is kept, and these are dispensed by Mrs. Carson. As poulterer and fruiterer to His Excellency Lord Glasgow, and as contractor for the supply of Bellamy's and other large consumers, Mr. Carson enjoys a good share of public patronage.
