The business of this firm was established by Mr. Malcolm in 1884 on the first floor of Inglis' Buildings, corner of the Triangle and Cashel Street. In 1886, the premises having become too small, the firm removed to Ford's Buildings, Here ford Street, and two years later removed to the warehouse built for Messrs. P. Hayman and Co., in Manchester Street, and now occupied by Messrs. Bowron Bros., tanners. Messrs. Malcolm and Co. continued to occupy those premises till 1896, when in consequence of the continued development of their business throughout the Colony, it became necessary to have a larger establishment. The firm purchased a freehold section in Lichfield Street at the corner of the White Hart Hotel right-of-way, and a fine three-storey brick building was erected from the plans of Mr. W. A. P. Clarkson, architect, at a cost of £3000. The ground floor is occupied by Mr. Malcolm's private office, with the counting house at the back, the intermediate space being utilised for the general stock. The first floor is likewise used for general stock, and the upper storey for the indenting department. Samples of goods from a very large number of the leading manufacturers of the world are appropriately grouped in the various departments to which they belong. The warehouse proper contains about 9000 square feet of floor space, and behind this is a single-storey brick building used for the storage of bulk goods and having a cart entrance to the “White Hart” right-of-way. The representatives of the firm travel throughout the various towns and districts of the Colony, and a large and increasing trade is the result. Mr. Malcolm was born in Glasgow in 1860. He has for a number of years been a member of the Heathcote Road Board, of which he was at one time chairman. He is a local director of the United Fire and Marine Insurance Company, Limited, also of the “Cyclopedia” Company, Limited, and several other companies.
