Mr. Hector Kenneth Bethune

Mr. Hector Kenneth Bethune, Sub-inspector of the Bank of Australasia for New Zealand, is the son of the late Mr. J. H. Bethune, founder of the well-known firm of auctioneers in Wellington. The subject of this notice was born in Wellington in 1857, and was educated at the local College and Grammar School, on leaving which he joined the Bank in 1874 as a junior, and has since passed through the various grades in the service of the Bank at different branches. About nine years ago Mr. Bethune went to Auckland, where for a time he had temporary charge of the branch in that important city. Subsequently he was for two years acting manager at Dunedin. Mr. Bethune was promoted to the office he now holds in 1890. He has since made a tour of inspection of offices of the Bank in all the colonies, excepting Western Australia. Returning to New Zealand in 1892, Mr. Bethune has performed his duties of inspection in the Colony up to the time of writing.
