Macmillan 1930 -  Megson and Pharazyn Limited - The business of Messrs Megson and Pharazyn Ltd was one of the first concerns started at Bahati Township in 1923 when that place was intended as the site upon and around which local commercial activities would revolve. A year later it was transferred  to where the town of Kitale now is and underwent very rapid development; so much so that there was difficulty in getting suitable and reliable assistants for the many departments into which the undertaking expanded. Accordingly in the early part of 1929 the shareholders of the limited liability company into which the firm had been formed on June 30th 1928 arranged to their mutual satisfaction and for the greater enhancement of their interests to divide the business into separate and distinct concerns. Thus the printing department executing general jobbing and commercial work is now owned and operated by Mr E.L. Pharazyn and is the only enterprise of the kind in the town. Mr Pharazyn is the printer and publisher of 'The Trans Nzoia Post' which is an excellent advertising medium issued free every week and has a circulation of 700. It may be mentioned that the printing department was initiated by Mr P. Megson of Messrs A. Megson and Sons Ltd. The well-known printers of Manchester who went from that city to Kitale specially for the purpose and who is at the time of writing still supervising its affairs. Three of the share holders took over the department for hardware and implements and are running it under the title Associated Hardware. Mr F.L. Megson who founded the business with Mr Pharazyn and is cousin of Mr A. Megson already referred to holds the controlling interest in the remaining departments which are carried on under the name of Megson and Pharazyn Ltd.
