Lawrence, W. R., and Co

Lawrence, W. R., and Co. (William Richard Lawrence, Thomas Major Lane, and William Brown), General Storekeepers and Gum Buyers, Totara North. Telegraphic address, “Lawrence, Totara North.” A.B.C. Code. London agents, Messrs. Macdonald, Scales and Co. Bankers, Union Bank of Australia Ltd., Auckland. This firm's business was established in 1882 and has been conducted by the present partners conjointly since 1884. The firm's connections extend over a wide area of country, and as the members are direct importers they do a large wholesale trade with local storekeepers. Messrs. Lawrence and Co. are large gum buyers, and ship considerable quantities regularly to Auckland. The facilities offered for shipping are excellent as vessels of 100 tons can without any difficulty berth alongside the premises.
