Barber and Co. (Henry Barber), Butchers, Lambton Quay, Wellington. This is one of the oldest butchery businesses in the city, having been established by Mr. E. Wilton in 1840. It was taken over by the present proprietor in 1889. The firm are contractors to the Admiralty, and to the Shaw, Savill and Albion Shipping Company. The present shop, which is claimed to be the largest in the city, was erected in 1886, in place of one destroyed by fire. The firm employs about nine hands, and has a large business connection.
