Smith and Kirkland (Samuel Smith and Edward Kirkland), Butchers, 167 Cuba Street, Wellington. Telephone 414. This business was established in 1889, by Mr. George Cotton, who conducted a steady trade till 1896, when the present partners took possession. Messrs. Smith and Kirkland were brought up to the business, the latter gaining his earlier experience in Otago, and the former in Petone, where he served with Mr. James Gear. The partners are well-known to the public in connection with the Happy Valley Meat Company, in whose employ they became sufficiently acquainted to warrant the present alliance. Both take an active part in the management of the business, and the public may rest satisfied that the best meat will be supplied at the lowest possible cost.
