Mr. William Joseph Salmon, Manager for Wellington district, was born in 1846 in Sydney, New South Wales, where he was educated. Coming to Wellington, New Zealand, in 1864, he served an apprenticeship to the drapery trade, in which he has been almost continually in various capacities up to the present time. Mr. Salmon joined the staff of the Kaiapoi Woollen Company in 1884 as traveller for the same district which he still controls. On the establishment of the Wellington branch, Mr Salmon was promoted to the position of manager.
