Stead, George G., and Co

Stead, George G., and Co. (George Gatonby Stead and George Joseph Fisher Palmer), Grain and Export Merchants. Offices, Triaugle, Christchurch. Warehouse and Seed Factory, Addington. This important firm was founded by the senior partner in 1870. The offices comprise a portion of the ground floor of a three-storey building erected by the New Zealand Grain Agency Company, Ltd., which has since become the property of Mr. Stead. The firm has three large grain stores at Addington adjoining the railway, and these have a very large storage capacity; in one of them there is a seed-cleaning plant which page 345 is considered to be the best and most complete in the Australasian Colonies. Mr. Palmer was admitted a partner in the firm in 1897.
