Mr. Alfred Coutts

Mr. Alfred Coutts is a son of Mr. John Coutts, the well-known superintendent engineer of the Northern Steamship Company. He was educated at the Auckland College and Grammar School, and learned the ironmongery business in one of the large Auckland houses. After serving his apprenticeship he went to Australia, in 1884, and for a number of years was engaged there in various pursuits. Mr. Coutts returned to New Zealand in 1890, and for several years was travelling representative for a prominent ironmongery firm in Auckland. He severed his connection with that firm in 1895, when he and his partner, Mr. Hipkins, started their present flourishing business. Mr. Coutts is well known in musical circles, and is a member of the Auckland Amateur Opera Club, and of the Ponsonby Musical Society, and possesses a fine tenor voice. He is also a member of the Ponsonby Bowling Club. As a Freemason Mr. Coutts is a member of Lodge Ara, No. 1, New Zealand Constitution. He is married, and resides at Shelley Beach Road.
