Mr. Peter Graham

Mr. Peter Graham is a native of Dumbartonshire, Scotland, where he learned his trade as a mason and builder with Messrs Barlas. Shortly after finishing his apprenticeship Mr. Graham came to New Zealand, and landed in Port Chalmers in 1879. He worked at his trade in Canterbury for about six years. In 1885 he left for Melbourne, and after working for two years at his trade he started in business as a builder and contractor. After a five years career in that capacity he returned to Christchurch and entered into business, and four years subsequently he took Mr. John Greig as a partner.
