Connon, Thomas

Connon, Thomas, Aerated Water Manufacturer, Ohinguiti Cordial Factory, Main Street. Ohingaiti. This factory is well found in every respect, and supplies a large district with cordials and non-intoxicating drinks. Mr. Connon, who hails from Aberdeen, where he was educated at the local grammar school and at King's College, became one of the chartered accountants of Scotland in 1864. He settled in the colonies owing to heavy losses, caused by the failure of a well-known institution in his native land. In local politics Mr. Connon takes great interest, having for some years filled the position of chairman of the school committee.
