His importations are mostly from his father's firm—that of Messrs. J. Gyles and Son, type founders, etc., of 100 St. John's Street Road, Clerkenwell, London; and he has always a good stock on hand for immediate requirements, and samples from which larger orders may be filled from Home. In rubber stamps Mr. Gyles does a very fine business. His novelties compare well with the best in the Colony, and his prices [unclear: are] exceedingly moderate. Orders for these stamps come in from all parts, and are executed with the least possible delay. He is also in a position to supply the requirements of rubber stamp makers. Mr. Gyles is a native of London, and came out to the Colony per ship “Caroline” in 1880. He attends well to his growing business, and it respected by all who know him.
