Sawtell And Wachsmann (Claude E. W. Sawtell and John F. Wachsmann). Grain, Seed and Produce Merchants, 134 and 136 Cashel Street, Christchurch. The business was established in 1888, since which it has grown in a really remarkable manner. Owing to the energy displayed in all departments the name of this firm is known favourably throughout the principal colonial markets and also in the great European centres. In 1897, Messrs. Charles Sharpe and Co., Ltd., the well-known seed growers of Sleaford, England, appointed Messrs. Sawtell and Wachsmann their sole agents in New Zealand.
