William T. Studley.
Beginning in 1867, there is none of the
older and more responsible firms engaged
in the wholesale fish trade, whose many
years of existence carry with them
more honors and profitable success than
that of Mr.. William T. Studley, who for
twentv-seven years has lived business
and social life that draws to him the
commentator of his business acquaint-
ances and such share of 1he worlds
goods as are sure to come as the reward
that accrues to honorable dealing and an
upright clean life.
In the handling of picked fish, the
care taken in curing, together with the
surety that the quality is in keeping with
the brand or grade, under which they
are marketed, has brought the markets of
the country and the Dominion of Cana
da to the doors of Mr.. Studley at 80 aud
81 Commercial wharf, place where
the Golden Rule is the measure of each
days business transactions.
.. N. It. Trefethen.
An establishment characteristic of
Portland's sea-faring industries is that of
Newell F. Trefethen, wholesale dealer in
Holsters at No. 40 Portland Pier.
A native OF Higgins Island and familiar
from childhood with the means of nc
quiring livelihood from the sea, Mr..
Trefethen is practical expert in his call
ing as is evidenced by his marked sue
cess. He ships principally to New York
and west to Chicago and the Pacific
Coast, doing business of $4,000 per
year.
He owns lobster pound at So. Bristol
and employs ten smacks which collect
the Holsters whore they are caught at all
points along the coast from Eastport to
Kittery, and carry them to the pound.
Mr.. Trefethen also owns the Herman
Reesing, steamer of 20 tons, which is
used collecting from the lobster pots
along the coast and runs to the Nova
Scotia shore for Holsters in the open sea-
son.

At the end of Commercial wharf is car.
ried on the wholesale trade In fish and
Holsters, established by J. w. Trefeth-
en- in 1872. Since the death of Mr.. Ire.
fethen in 1895, the business has been
managed by his son, Chas. N. Trefethen.
Mr.. Trefethen does large business in
fresh and picked fish, supplying
customers in New York, Boston
and at all points in New England ava
Canada. In order to keep on hand tao
fresh stock of fish which his business de.
mands, Mr.. Trefethen has constantly in
use fifteen lobster schooners, an elual
number of fishing vessels and about
thirty smaller vessels which bring in THEFT
fares daily.
Trefethen Bearce.
AS importers and shippers of salt, dry
and picked fish, Messrs. Trefethen &
Bearce continue business that was first
established in Portland in the year 1908
by the firm of Dana & Co.
In 1852, the business changed hands,
the name of the firm becoming Geo.
Trefethen & Co., and the personnel of
the firm is now composed of Geo. Ire
fethen and Samuel T. Bearce under the
firm name of Trefethen & Bearce.
Located at the head of Central wharf
on Commercial street, Nos. 1888 and 1872
this firm is most conveniently situated
for the importing and shipping of salt
and the many varieties of dry and picked
fish in which they deal, and also for the
distribution of the popular Diamond
Crystal table salt of which Trefethen 6
Bearce are the eastern distributing
agents.
We take 10 cal pride in noting that the
history of this firm, which dates back to
1903, when taken together with that of
other like representative concerns in the
City of Portland, speaks of the strength
and permanence of Portland mercantile
houses.
