Davis, James, Baker, Confectioner and Family Grocer, New North Road, Auckland. Mr. Davis was born in 1822, in Herefordshire, England, and was engaged at farm work for several years. He emigrated to New South Wales in 1848, and remained in Australia for six years, after which he returned to England, and took to farming again for seventeen years. In 1873 he left England for New Zealand, by the ship “Queen of the Age,” and arrived in Auckland, where he followed various occupations for five years. He established his present business twenty-three years ago, and for many years past has been assisted in the bakehouse by his sons. The main building is of two stories, of wood and iron, and the bakehouse is situated at the rear. At present five hands are employed, and three carts are kept busy delivering.
