Date: c. 1891 Type: Shop Status: Unknown

"The business established at Germiston by Messrs. Brammer & Evans in 1891, was taken over in 1901, before the close of hostilities, by Messrs. Gear & Calderliead, whose name is now so well-known on the East Rand as purveyors of high-class groceries, etc. Being direct importers, Messrs. Gear & Calderhead naturally have to keep large stocks, and they therefore contemplate building their own premises in the near future. These will be on a greatly extended scale, to accommodate their increasing trade, the present stores being totally inadequate, although occupying a space measuring seventy-five by a hundred feet."
