Mr. James Gardiner

Mr. James Gardiner , Providor of the steamers “Mountaineer,” “Ben Lomond,” and “Antrim,” has occupied his present position since 1901. He was born in Queenstown, in 1869, and educated and brought up to storekeeping in his native place. For about twelve years Mr Gardiner was in business, and was then a photographer for two years. Mr Gardiner has a small poultry farm at his residence in page 1028 Queenstown, where he successfully raises plenty of eggs, and birds for the tables of the steamers. He has also a vegetable garden at Kingston, and finds time, while the steamer is waiting, to cultivate the ground. Since 1898, Mr Gardiner has been an active member of the Queenstown Brass Band, in which he carries the big drum. As a Freemason, he is attached to Lodge Ophir, Queenstown, and has passed all the chairs, with the exception of that of the Grand Master. He was married, in 1902, to a daughter of Mr Frank Smith, of Timaru, and has one son.
