Page, Mrs. J. E.

Page, Mrs. J. E., Central Storekeeper, Main Street, Ashurst. Telegraphic address, “Page, Ashurst.” Bankers, Bank of New Zealand. Private residence, on the premises. This business was established by the late Mr. G. H. Page in 1883. The premises, which are freehold, have a fine frontage to the main street of Ashurst in its busiest part, and the trade extends throughout a large district, one cart being constantly employed in the delivery of goods. Mrs. Page is a native of Manchester, England, and came to New Zealand with her husband in 1877, per ship “Hereford,” arriving in Wellington during the same year. For about eleven years the business was conducted by Mr. Page with considerable success, and, though left with quite a young family, Mrs. Page has been enabled to keep page 1209 her late husband's trade well together. Mr. Page was a useful and popular man in the district, and was an officer of the local Masonic Lodge. Mrs. Page is in every way to be commended and thoroughly deserving of encouragement.
