James Lachlan

JAMES LACHLAN, Butcher, 36, St. Enoch Square, Glasgow.

    This flourishing and representative business was established over twenty years ago in Eglinton Street, was removed subsequently to Canning Street, Bridgeton, and finally, a few years ago, to the present large and central premises. The double shop is well suited to a first-class trade, and offers plenty of space for the display of the excellent home-fed beef, mutton, etc., for which Mr. Lachlan is famous. Beneath, in the basement, curing operations are largely carried on under the most favourable conditions. The connection has grown very fast, and now includes many of the first hotels, restaurants, and private establishments in the City. The wants of the shipping trade are not neglected, and it must be a treat of no ordinary kind for our sea-faring men, on arrival in the Port, to exchange their salt junk for the juicy and finely-flavoured meat supplied by Mr. Lachlan’s establishment.

    The proprietor has had a life-long experience of the trade, and knows how to cater for his customers to their satisfaction. An unusually large staff and exceptional facilities for distribution secure promptness in attending to orders — by no means the least praiseworthy feature of the concern. Mr. Lachlan holds a first place in the trade, and sees to everything personally, as far as such an extensive and rapidly-growing business will allow.
