Bankers, Bank of Australasia, Limited. Private residence, Webb Street, St. Albans. This firm's business was established by the proprietor, who has been close upon twenty-five years associated with the wholesale trade. Mr. Quane conducts the business purely on agency lines. He personally visits Nelson and the West Coast, and also attends to his clients in Christchurch. The firm has a branch in Wellington under the management of Mr. W. Highman, and also one in Auckland under the management of Mr H. Herman; in addition, it also has travellers who entirely cover the whole of New Zealand. Messrs Quane and Co. execute English and foreign indents, and their customers have by this means exceptional facilities for purchasing in the best and cheapest markets of the world. Amongst the agencies held by Messrs Quane and Co. are the following; Messrs Nelson, Moate and Co., Limited, teas; S. Kirkpatrick and Co., Limited, jams, conserves, etc.; Crown Dairy Factory Company, Limited, butter, cheese, etc.; the New Zealand Candle Company, Limited, candles: the New Zealand Wax Vesta Co., Limited vestas; John Ferguson and Co., Glasgow, Scotch whisky; Hunt, Roope, Teague and Co., London, port wines; Conrad W. Schmidt. London, varnish; T. C. Williams Co., nosegay tobacco; David Dunlop and Co., Derby tobacco; Henry Wells Oil Co., Manchester, lubricating oils; and J. K. Armsby Co., San Francisco, Californian fruits. Owing to the rapid extension of the firm's business, Mr. Quane has recently erected a two-storey building of brick and stone, which is considered one of the handsomest business houses in Lichfield Street.
