Mr. James is a native of Marchfield, Monmouthshire, where he was brought up as a farmer. He came to the Colony per ship “Cairngoram” in 1863. After gaining general experience in New Zealand for some years he founded the present business in 1872. Mr. James has commodious premises in Howe's Lane for the purposes of his trade. He has well built stables and sheds, where he keeps the seven horses and half a dozen vehicles which are employed in his business. Mr. James occupies a convenient two-story cottage on the same site, which is his leasehold. The total area of the section used as above is 7000 square feet. The buildings are of wood and iron. Mr. James undertakes general carrying, household removing, receiving, and delivering to any part of the city and suburbs. He has a staff of competent and trustworthy men, who may at all times be depended upon. Mr. James is interested in poultry farming. He has a good piece of land at Levin, where he has a large number of fowls. At the Levin branch Mr. James's son is working up a good connection, and no doubt at an early date business will further increase.
