Mr. Frank Cowie

Mr. Frank Cowie , Sole Proprietor of the firm of Brown and Cowie, was born at Winton in 1860. He was educated at Limehills, and at the Southland High School, and learned the trade of a mechanical engineer from Mr John Brown, at Winton. He was afterwards employed for four years by the Implement Company, at Invercargill, and then returned to Winton, where he joined his previous employer, Mr John Brown, as partner in his business. This partnership continued until September, 1901, when Mr Cowie bought his partner's interest. Mr Cowie has served in the Winton Rifles since the formation of the corps, and holds the rank of sergeant, and he is also a member of the Winton Lodge of Oddfellows. He was married, in 1904, to a daughter of Mr William Lindsay, carpenter, Winton, and resides in a substantial dwelling house close to his business premises.
