Mr. William Charles Harrison
Mr. William Charles Harrison , the Junior Partner, was born at Motherwell, Scotland, in 1871, and four years later came to New Zealand with his parents, who took up a farm at Palmerston South. The family afterwards removed to Lipton, where, after leaving school, Mr Harrison was in a store for about four years. He then had charge of the Southland Co-operative Society's store for about eighteen months, was afterwards with Mathieson and Co. for fifteen months, and was in a store at Stirling for six years before settling at Colac Bay, in 1902. During his residence in Invercargill, Mr Harrison was a member of the Appleby Cricket Club, and is now deputy-captain of the Colac Bay Football Club. He married a daughter of Mr Robert Harper, farmer, County Monaghan, Ireland.
