Southwick, Joseph Henry, Pharmaceutical Chemist, High Street, Picton. Mr. Southwick was born at Wallacetown, near Invercargill, in the year 1880, and is a son of Mr. South-wick, the local schoolmaster there. He was primarily educated at various public schools under his father, and then, having gained one of the Education Board's junior scholarships, he went to the Otago Boys High School, where, three years later, he won the Board of Governors' Senior Scholarship. Mr. Southwick was then apprenticed to Messrs B. Bagley and Son, chemists, of Dunedin, and three years afterwards accepted an appointment as assistant to Mr. W. Walker of Milton, where in October, 1902, he finally qualified. Mr. Southwick subsequently held responsible appointments in different parts of the colony, and in September, 1904, he took over Mr. C. F. A. Whiteford's business at Shannon, in the Wellington provincial district. Shortly afterwards, however, he was burnt out, and in June, 1905, removed to Picton, and bought the business formerly conducted by Mr. Hotop.

Mr. A. Hotop is of German extraction, and was born in Saxony in the year 1875. His father and three brothers are successful chemists, and several of his kinsmen are medical practitioners. Mr. Hotop was trained under his father, qualified at an early age, and, after holding several professional appointments in Otago, went to Wellington, where he was in business for a time at Petone, and afterwards in Cuba Street in Wellington. Later on, he joined the musical profession, and for several years had charge of the orchestra in the Wellington Opera House. Mr. Hotop subsequently resigned that position, and removed to Picton, where he bougnt a business, which had been established many years previously by Dr. Scott. This business he sold in June, 1905, to Mr. J. H. Southwick. Mr. Hotop is a Freemason.
