"The firm was brought into existence at Pietersburg by the present titular head and Mr Dewitz in 1885. A distinctive feature is the clock tower - the only one in the town. Of course, commencement was first made in humbler premises - a structure which, though at the time imposing in comparison with its surroundings, was much more limited in dimensions, and, only of single-storey elevation, was composed of brick with cement facings. It demanded, with the passing of years, re-construction on a considerable scale; and the existing building is not only commodious but ornately appointed, and a feature in the architecture of the town of Pietersburg."
