Notes |
- Founder of Waverley Blankets from his estate named Waverley in the Ceres valley area.
from http://researchspace.ukzn.ac.za/bitstream/handle/10413/5442/Mcdowell_James_Carol_2000.pdf on page 54:
"There was a period of 53 years before the next mill was opened which was Waverley Wool Washing Establishment of 1875, started by William Wallace Dickson on his farm 'Waveren" in the Wolseley/ Ceres district of the Western Cape, where wool was washed and blankets produced on six looms. A small old-fashioned 60 hp water turbine, the power source of which was a water wheel, drove the mill (see photograph Chapter 3, Harris, Figure 2). The mill was staffed by a European foreman and about 20 coloured workers who were housed on the farm . By 1897 the company was experiencing financial difficulties and the property was re-possessed by the Bank of Africa who held it as security for funds provided' The company was sold by the bank to a Scot, James Gray, who died at the age of 50, in 1909. Gray had rented it to Joseph Chadwick, the manager of the farm "Waveren", who later became the first works manager for South African Woollen Mills Limited . Finance for the operation was provided by Charles Ward Hutton Norton who changed the name to Waverley Wool Manufacturing Company and the blankets sold under the brand name "Waverley", currently in use, which must make it one of the oldest brand names in South African textiles, if not in the whole of South African industry. The partnership of Chadwick and Norton was eventually dissolved in c .1911 when Wolf Harris moved in. From its founding Waverley had met with mixed fortunes up until the Harris family took it over in 1911 . From then on it was a success story as it was the beginning of the South African Woollen Mills Limited. "
