Gandy, William John

Gandy, William John, Dairy Produce and General Commission Agent, The Butter Cellar, National Mutual Buildings, Customhouse Quay. Telephone 3; P. O. Box 201. Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand. London Agents, H. Trengrouse and Co., Tooley Street, S.E. Private residence, Nairn Street. Mr. Gandy is a native of London. He was brought up to the wool trade in London and Yorkshire. In 1854 he reached New Zealand per ship “Balnaguith,” from London. For the first ten years in the Colony he was chiefly in the country, where he gained considerable experience. The present business was founded about 1864, and has been conducted continuously since that date. The premises occupied by Mr. Gandy are part of the basement of the National Mutual Buildings, and contain 2400 square feet of floorage space. The Butter Cellar is admirably adapted for the purposes of Mr. Gandy's trade, which includes cheese as well as butter, and extends to storekeepers as well as farmers. Mr. Gandy does a considerable local business, and exports direct to London; his registered trade mark for butter and cheese consists of the three letters “H.I.S.” Mr. Gandy has been known in business circles for a period of fully thirty years, and is well respected by all who have business with him. He has made dairy produce his special study, and any orders entrusted to him will be executed with promptness.
