Fletcher, Joseph Alfred

Fletcher, Joseph Alfred, General Storekeeper and Carrier, Raetihi. Born in Collingwood, Nelson, where his father arrived in 1858, Mr. Fletcher was educated in Nelson. After engaging in general work for several years, he opened a store in Raetihi in January, 1895, which he has since enlarged. His business has expanded with the settlement, and he now employs two assistants. Mr. Fletcher acts as agent for the Canterbury Times and the Auckland Weekly Herald. Mr. William Ross, who is chairman of the local school committee, is the manager of the store. In winter, Mr. Fletcher has to bring his goods by pack-horses from the steamer at Pipiriki. In all local sports, but especially cricket, he takes a keen interest.
