The City Meat Company

The City Meat Company, General and Family Butchers, 41 Courtenay Place. Telephone 687. Established in 1889. Mr. Hugh McArtney, the present proprietor, has carried on the business since 1892. The premises, built of concrete and brick, consist of two stories with a spacious cellar, which is specially fitted for cooling and salting meat. In connection with the business Mr. McArtney employs four hands, and pays out about £48 per month in wages. A son of the late Mr. John McArtney of Nelson—one of the oldest colonists—his popularity and knowledge of the trade render his success only a matter of time.
