No. 28, however, is his headquarters. Mr. Dott was established here in 1879. He has had to enlarge his premises since he entered them. He keeps a very large stock here in miscellaneous stationery goods, in which he does a good family and wholesale trade ; in the latter way he has a large connection for twines.

In the wholesale stationery Mr. Dott has good working facilities, and undertakes a wide range of mercantile and manufacturing work — engraving, lithographing, printing, account-book making, and general letterpress bookbinding. His retail trade is also of a firmly established nature in both shops, and he supplements it very considerably in the sale of newspapers, periodicals, magazines, &c., &c. He keeps an efficient staff of assistant, and attends in person to the general routine of the work.
