North, Henry Charles

North, Henry Charles, Corn Broom Manufacturer, 14 Featherston Street. Telephone 577. Bankers, Union Bank of Australia. Mr. North is a native of Dunedin, New Zealand, where he learned his business. Determining to master the details of the whole process of manufacture, Mr. H. C. North gave his earnest attention to the work, and duly completed his term in 1893. He left Dunedin, having gained a thorough knowledge of the business during the years in which he was apprenticed. Being a young man of great energy and push, he decided to establish a factory on his own account, and, not wishing to enter into competition with his late employers in Dunedin, he made a trip round the Colony. He noticed that in the Empire City there was no corn broom manufacturer, and therefore he wisely decided to start the industry in that city. The present business was founded in 1893, and has been steadily progressing since the commencement. Mr. North has all needful machinery for making carpet brooms, of which he makes four different kinds. He has agents through the North Island, where his customers principally are found.
