Wright, Albert

Wright, Albert, General Storekeeper and Gum Buyer, Kaikohe. Bankers, Bank of New South Wales, Auckland. Mr. Wright established his business in 1895. His shop has a frontage of twenty-four feet, and though of unpretentious aspect a good steady business is carried on therein. Mr. Wright has energetically worked up a capital trade in gum and general supplies of stores to the fields. He was born in Suffolk, England, in 1863 and followed farming pursuits there during his younger days. Arriving in Auckland per ship “Carnatic” in 1874, he came to the Bay of Islands and entered the employ of Messrs. Goffe and Co., remaining at Waaitangi Falls for three years. He was subsequently transferred to Kaikohe for five years, when he established the present business on his own account. Mr. Wright has reaped the reward of his perseverance and his fine home is among the best to be found in Kaikohe. He is married to the eldest granddaughter of Mr. H. T. Kemp, of Kerikeri, and formerly Civil Commissioner of Auckland.

Mr. A. Wright.
