COACHBUILDERS.

SINCLAIR, MARK, Carriage Builder, Corner of St. Andrew and King Streets, Dun­edin; Telephone 122; Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand; Private residence, St. An­drew Street. Founded in 1873 by Mr. Sin­clair, who occupies large brick and wood premises, the business has long been pro­minent in its particular line in Dunedin. All classes of work are undertaken at the establishment, which gives employment to some sixteen skilled workmen. The excel­lence of the workmanship may best be illus­trated by a reference to the exhibits which have been conspicuous at many local shows, and at the leading New Zealand exhibitions. From seventy to eighty first prizes have been gained by Mr. Sinclair, besides five special prizes as the largest prizetaker. At the New Zealand and South Seas exhibition of 1889-90 he took three first prizes, and a special medal at the Wellington exhibition of 1896. Further reference to Mr. Sinclair will be found under the heading “Dunedin City Corporation.”
