Brown And Joske
Fiji Name to be Replaced by W. R. Carpenter and Co.
IT has been announced that the well known mercantile firm in Fiji, which has been conducted in the past under the name of Brown & Joske, Ltd., has now been formally taken over by Messrs.
W. R. Carpenter &' Co., Ltd., and will be carried on under the name of the latter firm.
Messrs. W. R. Carpenter & Co., Ltd., bought a large interest in Messrs. Brown & Joske, Ltd., a few years ago; but the old name of the firm has been retained up to the present time. It is considered likely that Messrs. W. R. Carpenter & Co., Ltd., of Fiji, will enter the trading business there with greater vigour than hitherto, as part of an organisation which is being slowly but steadily created for providing freight for the company’s new shipping line, which runs between the Pacific territories and European and American ports.
Captain Carbridge, skipper of Messrs.
A. B. Donald’s “Tiare Taporo”, has re linquished his command, and Captain Andy Thompson now has charge of the vessel.
