General Information:

SE - J.A. Nazareth - Nov 1907
Playne - The progress of development in BEA is marked by the fact that Messrs J.A. Nazareth & Brother have been appointed caterers to the Uganda Railway and the Lake Steamers for a period of 6 years. This firm which has branches in Mombasa, Fort Hall, and Kisumu, opened in Nairobi as far back as 1899, and has always at the disposal of the public a large stock of groceries, soft goods, crockery etc. Messrs Nazareth carry on an important business as bakers and soda-water manufacturers. The importance attached to the latter industry is shown by the fact that they can, if necessary, supply 150 dozen of soda water per day. ...... Mr J.Nazareth was personally in attendance on the Duke and Duchess of Connaught during their visit to BEA.
