"Land o'the mountain and the flood. Land of browu heath and shaggy wood. In the year 186G it passed into the hands of Mr Jamks Smith, the present proprietor, who gave to the premises the appropriate name of Te Aro Huuso, and under whose management business has steadily progressed with the rising fortunes of the city, until at length it was found that a considerable enlargement was necessary, and the result was, To Aro House, as at present, one of the most complete and Extensive Drapery Establishments in the colony of New Zealand.
