Davis, Jabez, Baker and Confectioner, Wellington Street, Auckland. Mr. Davis was born in 1857, in Hereford, England. The early part of his life was spent on a farm, and he camo to New Zealand, with his parents, by the ship “Queen of the Age,” in 1874. After learning his trade with his father he was employed by the late Mr. Dixon, bakor, of Hobson Street, and by Mr. David Grubb, of Karangahape and, Road, for many years. In 1882 he entered into partnership with his father and brother in Mount Eden Road, and ten years later bought the business of Mr. C. Smith, Mount Eden. After remaining there two years he removed to Victoria Street, and later on left there for his present premises, which are in a good central position.
