Mr. Young's building is of brick, of three lofty stories, and is on one of the best business sites in Auckland. It has two frontages, together of nearly fifty feet. The premises are replete with all the latest labour saving appliances, and include all the machinery required in the trade. Adjoining the shop is the cutting-up room, which is also used for salting and other purposes. The delivering is carried out under the direction of Mr. Young's right-hand man, “Henry,” who is an acknowledged favourite among his many customers. Mr. Young is a cash purchaser in the open markets, carries on his trade on strictly cash principles, and is doing a good steady business. He was born in Auckland in 1871, and is a son of the late Mr. John Price Young, plumber. Mr. Young went to his trade at an early age, and was for four years with Mr. Cochrane, three years with Mr. Knight, and five years with Messrs Fisher and Co. He then went to Sydney, but remained there only nine months, and returning to New Zealand, he was in the employment of Messrs R. and W. Hellaby for a short while till he established his present business.
