Robson, W. A.

Robson, W. A., Confectioner, 164 St. Asaph Street, Christchurch, Mr Robson is a native of New Zealand and was first employed as a confectioner by Mr. Salvatora Lessa in Christchurch about twenty years ago. After being four years in Mr. Lessa's service, Mr. Robson became foreman with Messrs Clarke and Co., confectioners, also of Christchurch, and remained with that firm for fourteen years. He then began business on his own account and has been thoroughly successful. Indeed, his ability and energy have been such that the increase in business has made it necessary for Mr. Robson to put up more machinery and employ more hands. Practically, all kinds of confectionery are manufactured on the premises, and Mr. Robson makes specialties of boiled dry chocolate and gelatine goods.
