Robert John Smith ran this business in Coffs Harbour from 1904 until 1921 when he passed it on to his son Archibald. A 1909 new article states that the business was most up-to-date with a sausage plant driven by steam. [Source: A Trip to the Coast. (1909, June 15). Clarence and Richmond Examiner (Grafton, NSW : 1889 - 1915), p. 2.]

The business stood opposite Tait's saddlery. [Source: FACTS AND RUMOURS. (1913, May 31). Coffs Harbour Advocate (NSW : 1907 - 1942; 1946 - 1954), p. 2.]
