Samarai's "Spud" Wilson
p. 55 · Read in the full issue
Comes South
Back in Sydney with his wife in January, after 50 years of book keeping and merchandising in Papua, was Mr. Edward Wilson, known affectionately by everyone in Samarai as "Spud".
He served Whitten Brothers, in Samarai, until that famous old firm sold out after World War 11. Then he had long years with Buntings, who extended into New Guinea after the war; and latterly he has been on the staff of Steamships Trading Co. A genuine "old-timer".
The Wilsons did not like Sydney's climate—"too damned cold"—and so are headed north to seek a cosier place of retirement in Queensland.
Mr. Wilson.
