Holloway, Edwin George

Holloway, Edwin George, Butcher, 52 Tory Street (corner of Vivian Street) Wellington. This business was originally established about 1875, by the Wellington Meat Company. It was subsequently taken over by the Happy Valley Meat Company, and Mr. Holloway managed for that firm for about three years, taking the business over on his own account in May, 1895. He does a large trade on strictly cash principles. He has an extensive small goods manufacturing department, which is under the supervision of Mr. Henry Granger, who has had a practical experience in that line of over 35 years. All the goods are made from the best materials the markets afford. Mr. Holloway is a native of Hampshire, an I learned his trade with his father. He was foreman for several large butchering firms in London for some years, and has had a large experience in every branch of his trade. He came to the colonies, and was in Sydney and in Melbourne. After arrival in Wellington, he entered the service of the Gear Meat Company, in whose employ he cut meat in the London style for the first shipment of frozen meat to London.
