" Land o» the mountain and the flood, Land of brown heath and shaggy wood.' In the year 18GG it passed into the hands of Mr James Smith, the present proprietor, who gave to the promises the appropriate name of Te Aro House, and under whose management business has steadily progressed with the rising fortunes of the city, until at length it was found that a' considerable enlargement was necessary, and the result was, Te Aro House, as at present, onoof the most complete and Extensive Drapery '.Establishments in the colony of Now Zealand.
