Jones and Co

Jones and Co. (C. H. Jones and William Williams), Coal, Firewood, and Produce Dealers, Lambton Quay (next Kirkcaldie and Stains' carpet warehouse) Wellington. Telephone 881. Bankers, Bank of New Zealand. Mr. Jones is an Englishman by birth, and for fifteen years was in the employ of Messrs. J. S. Fry and Sons, the noted cocoa and chocolate manufacturers. Subsequently he entered into business as a wholesale confectioner in Bristol, where he had three large shops, and did a good trade for some years. Mr. Williams was employed in the Great Western locomotive works at Taunton for a long time, and subsequently was engaged by John Lysaght, Limited. The partners came to the Colony in 1894, per s.s. “Ruahine,” and have established the above business, in which they are meeting with good success. Mr. C. H. Jones is also an importer of confectionery and novelties of various kinds both from England and Japan. His long experience in this trade enables him to put on the Colonial market a great variety of good selling novelties.
