“AN OLD BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS.
————
One of the oldest businesses in Windsor, that of Mr B Barnett, Cordial and Æreated-water manufacturer, changed hands last week after having been in existence for the past 40 years, the proprietor retiring in favour of his son, Mr George Barnett.
In 1853, Mr B Barnett commenced the business of cordial and ginger-beer making in Bridge-st, in the premises which were formerly situated where Mr Jones’ shoeing forge now stands, opposite the Carrington Hotel. An hotel then stood at the corner of this land and Mr Barnett’s residence adjoined, the factory being located at the back. Mr Barnett only remained there 12 months as the floods compelled him to clear out to higher ground, and he removed near to old Government House, in the house where Mr M Raper now resides. Two years later he removed to the house occupied by Mr C Tilley, Macquarie-st., a shed being erected at the rear of the premises for the works.
Here business was carried on for five years. During a portion of this time Mr Barnett disposed of his business to a Mr Garbett, a man of means—Mr Barnett being engaged to manage the business and undertaking not to start in opposition for five years.
Owing to the neglect of purchaser the business dwindled away, and in twelve months it came into the hands of Mr Barnett again, who took into partnership with Mr C Tilley, whose name was used in the business for some years.
This gentleman was a partner of Mr Barnett’s for something like 10 years. After a residence here of 5 years, the business was removed to where Mr W Gosper’s brick residence now stands, the building then on that site being burned to the ground by the big fire.
Mr Barnett remained in Macquarie-street for a few years longer, and in 1870 removed to George-street, where the business is now conducted, and has been for the past 23 years.
Owing to infirmities and sickness, Mr Barnett has been unable to superintend the business for the past 15 years, but he has been the lucky possessor of a good helpmate who has managed to bring up a large family and attend to the concern in a businesslike manner. In the face of all opposition, Mr Barnett has put by a little for his old age and after 40 years of business life Mr and Mrs Barnett now retire for a well-earned rest.”
