Mr. Harry Salmon

Mr. Harry Salmon , Manager of the Bank of New South Wales in Dunedin, is an officer of thirty years' experience in the bank, and previously served in the Bank of British North America in London for two years. He was born in Perthshire, Scotland, and is the son of Major Salmon, of the Bengal Artillery, E.I.S. In 1874 he joined the Bank of New South Wales in Sydney, and after a short stay in that colony went to Queensland in the bank's service, and served there in various capacities for seventeen years. Mr. Salmon received his first managership in 1880, and was in charge of the Rockhampton branch all through the Mount Morgan boom. In 1893 he was sent to West Australia, in charge of the bank's business there, and was manager in Perth for six years. In 1900 he was removed to Dunedin to relieve Mr. Perston, who then retired from the service.
