For Kay Clarke. THOMAS GRIFFITHS, Wheelwright and General Blacksmith, Down.street.-This business has been four years in existence and has already grown to be one of considerable importance. Commencing with the assistance of a single man Mr. Griffiths now gives employment to eight hands. He has introduced in his works steam power and a number of modern labour-saving appliances-the main branches of work done being wheelwrighting and the building of waggons, drays, and all the heavier classes of vehicles. In these departments our subject has no superior. The following are among the awards he has received for his exhibits c:- Two first class awards, Ipswich, 1884; bronze medal, Brisbane, 1885; two three first-class, Brisbane, 1886 one first-class, Ipswich, 1886; and two first-class and three second-class, Brisbane, 1887; besides a number of other awards. The business is a rapidly-growing one and promises to be in a short time one of the most important in the colony. Mr. Griffiths is a native o! f Wales and was born in 1856. He learned and worked at his trade in his native country until 1884, when he came out to Australia and landed in Brisbane. He immediately settled in Ipswich and a few months later started his present business, in which he has since been successful. Regards Jane
