Everitt, William Benjamin, Baker, Confectioner and Caterer, “Glenmore,” New North Road, Auckland. Mr. Everitt was born and educated at the Thames, and in 1889 removed to Auckland, where he was employed by Mr. Ralph Wilson, Khyber Pass. On leaving Mr. Wilson's employment in 1894 he established himself in business, and by energy and personal attention to the wants of his customers, has succeeded in working up a very good connection. After some years of perseverance, he has been able to have a bakery erected with all the latest English improvements. The premises have been erected by the well-known builder, Mr. John Hough, Eden Terrace, and the oven does great credit to Messrs Moore and Herbert.
