Kirkby, of Trentham - and his two sisters, he was able to lay the foundation of a great trading concern. 

The firm, Messrs. Huntbach and Co., Limited, have now a permanent staff of about 300 persons, with shops. Workrooms, Warehouses, &c. of large and imposing dimensions. During the course of years the business has been extended from time to time by the acquirement of neighbouring premises on both sides of Lamb-street.
