Mr. Wallis

Mr. Wallis, the Senior Partner, is the son of the Rev. J. Wallis, who came to the Colony in 1833. Mr. Wallis was born at Raglan in 1844. He was employed by Messrs J. Wiseman and Co., with whom he remained until, in conjunction with Mr. Caley, he established the present business in 1889. Mr. Wallis has always taken a warm interest in church affairs. At one time he was morning superintendent of the Grafton Road Sunday school, and at present he is circuit steward and a trustee of the same church. In 1874 he married Miss Emily Wing, daughter of Captain Wing, of Onehunga, and has five children. His eldest son is first mate of the barque “Hertha.”
