NICHOLAS, Collan

Collan Nicholas


Saturday, 24th February, at 2 o'clock
Important Clearing-Out Sale Of Freehold Property, Stationery., &c, R. W. Capstick has received instructions from Mr Collan Nicholas, Photographer, Milton, Tokomairiro, to sell by auction, on the premises, on Saturday, the 24th inst., at 2 o'clock sharp,

All that piece or parcel of land, being part of sections 2 and 3, Block II., Mr James Elder Brown's subdivision of the Township of Milton, having a frontage of 30 feet to the Main South Road, and a depth of 155 feet, containing 20 poles (more or less), together with Stationer's Shop, and a four roomed dwelling-house, and detached newly erected Portrait Gallery 30ft in length, lighted from the roof and on both sides. Having spared no expense in making it perfect, the shop is replete, and fitted up so as to economise space. The whole of the valuable stock can be had by the purchaser of property, at valuation, otherwise the whole will be sold without reserve.

N.B.—The Auctioneer begs to inform his friends and the public in general, that the declining health of Mr. and Mrs Nicholas makes it imperative (and is the sole reason) for them to leave Milton. The property adjoins the Post Office, and directly opposite the Bank of Otago, situated in the most central part of the township. Terms at sale.

The photographer is Collan Nicholas, who also worked earlier in the South Island with his brother Richard as Nicholas Brothers in the Lawrence area. He later followed his brother Richard to Launceston, Tasmania before they established a studio in Mackay, Queensland. Cheers! Marcel Safier, Brisbane, Queensland.
