Brown And Stewart

Brown And Stewart (T. G. Brown and Robert Leslie Stewart), Wholesale Manufacturing Stationers and Paper Merchants, Gore Street, Auckland. P.O. Box, 411. Telephone, 593. Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand. This business was established in 1895 by Messrs Brown and Stewart to fill what they, as experienced stationers, considered to be a page 404 want in the growing trade of New Zealand, and the success their efforts have met with has justified their anticipations. The firm imports largely from America and Europe, news and all kinds of printing paper, and also all descriptions of writing paper in the flat, thus saving the duty. These they rule, and cut and pack into five quire packets ready for the retail stationery trade. They make a specialty of manufacturing account books, in the hundred and one varieties required by the trade, from bakers' “penny memo.” up to the pretentions Russian bound “Imperial.” School exercises are also turned out in large quantities. For the purpose of these lines of their trade the firm has lately erected on a spacious flat some very fine ruling and other machinery, which enables them to more than compete in finish and price, with the imported article. Though the firm is yet young, the experience, skill and energy concentrated in the business have already made it an important factor in the trade.
