Bank Of New Zealand

Bank Of New Zealand. This is probably the most extensive branch bank in the Colony. Though not on a corner section, the fine building occupies one of the choicest sites in the city, within a minute's walk of the post office, and the nearest bank to that department, as well as to all the mining exchanges, and offices of the principal wholesale merchants. The frontage to Queen Street is about ninety-six feet, and the depth about 178 feet. The managerial and other offices are in the front, a handsome corridor leading between them to the public room, which is probably the finest of its kind in New Zealand. An idea of the business conducted at this branch may be gathered from the fact, that no fewer than five tellers are kept continually busy, while not uncommonly their respective counters are througed. The entire staff includes the manager and assistant manager, accountant and assistant accountant, forty clerks, and two messengers. Mr. W. B. Buller is the manager in charge, with jurisdiction over the business of the gold-fields branches.
