Mr. George Coghill , formerly Manager of Mr. Brown's Ranfurly branch, was born in 1870, at Balelutha, where he was educated and brought up to the fellmongery business. Subsequently he was employed at Messrs Gregg and Co.'s chicory works in Dunedin, and afterwards gained some experience at flaxmilling. For six years and a half Mr. Coghill was employed by Messrs M. Ryrie and Co., of Balclutha, and, again, for a short time, by Mr. R. Sheppard, of Matakanui. In July, 1898, he entered the service of Mr. Brown, and was appointed to open the Ranfurly branch three months later.
