Mr. Horace Ian Simson

Mr. Horace Ian Simson, the popular owner of this business, is a son of Mr. H. N. Simson, of Auckland. He was born in Victoria, came with his parents to New Zealand in 1874, and was educated at Dunedin. Shortly after leaving school he entered commercial life, and followed the profession of auctioneer and stock salesman in Southland with great success until 1897. The mining “boom” attracted him to Auckland, where he had a large connection on the Stock Exchange until he purchased his present business from Messrs Dunningham and Co. Under Mr. Simson's management the business has increased and is continually increasing. Mr. Simson has always taken great interest in athletics, and is a keen sportsman. He is a member of the Pakuranga Hunt Club. Mr. Simson married a Hawke's Bay lady, who has made herself very popular in Auckland.
