DAWSONS LIMITED

Corner of Princes Street and Moray Place, Dunedin


Image
Dawsons Limited. - Dunedin - 1920

Perhaps the former premises of Frederick Tofield, see: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27039&p=177151&hil ... ld#p177151

Dawsons Ltd. appear to be unconnected with Stewart Dawson Co. Ltd., who were also working in Dunedin at this time, but may be connected with Hubert Wright's Dawson & Company, see: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27039&p=134393&hil ... on#p134393
