He was a son of Mr Edward Bull, who was co-editor and one of the proprietors of “The New Zealand Advertiser,” and “Bull’s Wellington Almanack,” published in the late ’so’s of last century, and after leaving school entered the employ of J. Kitchen and Sons, soap manufacturers. In 1893 he joined the staff of the New Zealand Candle Company, which, in 1894, bought out the business of J. Kitchen and Sons.
