Milligan And Bond

Milligan And Bond (Robert Miligan and Owen Bond), General Merchants and Flour Millers, Ngapara. This firm was established at Oamaru in 1891 by Mr. J. C. Milligan and Mr. Owen Bond. who were joined a year later by Mr. Robert Milligan. Early in 1902 the senior partner retired from the firm. The Ngapara branch of the business was opened by Mr. Bond in 1892, and the mill, which is a three-storey building of Oamaru stone, was erected in 1897. When opened its capacity was a sack and a half per hour, and this has been increased to its present output of five sacks per hour. Every year new machinery has been added, and there is now one of the most modern roller milling plants in the colony. The firm page 493 has a freehold of an acre and a half, in addition to some leasehold land, and the store is a fine double-fronted shop with office and bakery.
