' ■;■ A very old established Palmerston business ,is changing hands to-day, .Mr H. Haydon, who_ has been connected with the commercial.life of this town for the last. twenty : two years, having transferred his business to-his-sons, Messrs F. G. and C Haydon,- who will trade under the name of Haydon Bros. Mr Haydon, senr., originally entered into the partnership with Mr D, R,. Lewers, having been previously conducted by Mr. Alex Fergu : son in tho, premises originally occupied by tho late Mr G. Snelson. -Mr Haydon subsequently removed to his present premises, in which he has carried' on business ever since. His two sons, to whom ho has transferred his business, know the trado thoroughly, the eldest son having been with Mr Haydon for the past twelve years, and tho other son having been in the employ of Mr Porteoug for a considerable time. Mr Haydon will continue to control the Victoria Insurance Company's business personally, having-■ secured an office for that, purpose at tho. Kar of his son's shop. We feel sure that the public of Palmerston' and dis- - tiicty'who have been accustomed in the • pact to patronise the well-known shop, will extend their support to the new firm ol: Haydon Bros., who start business on their own account /under very favourable auspices.
