Mr. Newton Charles Holdaway, formerly of the firm of Holda-way and Bradley, coachbuilders, Hawera, was born at Richmond, Nelson. He learned his trade under Mr. J. Papps, of Richmond, and afterwards was for three years with Messrs James and Tunniclifle, of Blenheim. Mr. Holdaway started business in Richmond on his own account, but, seeing a larger scope in the rising district of Hawera, went there in 1896, and bought out Mr. John Veats. Mr. Alfred Theodore Bradley became his partner. Mr. Holdaway afterwards removed from Hawera to Levin.
