BIR CURRIMBHUY EBRAHIM,
A LIFE-SKETCHIL
Currimbley Ebrahim, the proprietor of the local firm of E. Pabaney and the owner of the firma of this hime at Kobe, Japan, Shanghai, Singapuro, Calcutta and Bombay, was one of the lucky few who had the honour of being knighted by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, during His Highness's recent visit to Bombay. A brief life-sketch of this anter prizing Indian merchant appears in the column of The Times of India, Bombay, of the 22nd, ult., from which we call the following parti culars, which interest dur readers,
Sir Currimbhoy Embrahim belongs to the enterprizing Khoja community of Western. India and a várat generations of his forefathers
have been buiiiess men and merchants. Born in 1849, Sir Currimbhoy is the youngest son of Mr. Ebrahim l'abiney, a merchant of Cutch whose ships plica from Mandwi to Arabia and Zanzibat and who traded between Cutch and Bombay. Currimbhoy inherited wonderful business instinct, keen foresight, sound judg mant, rare decision of character and firm re “solution. He staited. bis business early, when he was merely 16. Foresceing huge possibili ties in the Far Eastern trade, as early as the fifties, he opened a' firm in Hongkong and named it after his father. Success in this en- terprize led bin ta open firais in other places. He rose bit by bit until now that bis are acknowledged to be the leading firms trading between India, Straits, Chink and Japan.
Sir Currimbboy, was the last man to rest con lanted with the 'mere handling of import and export business, la 1888, he set up the Cur- rimbhay Milli. Later, he established Moha- madbhoi Mills; and, siill later, in 1895, he started the Ebrahim Pabazey Mills. At pre sent, his mills are providing the daily bread of $,000 people, and are admirably managed and sound business concerns,
Sir Currimbhoy is at extremely busy mae; bul, so admirably he busbands his time that amids so very arduous, career evan, he finds ime and has the will to do his level best or the country and community which gave Am birth.
A girl and boys school in Mandvi, the Currinbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Ophanage, Bombay, sever Dharanfealas (fee inne) in Munivi and Bhuj in Coteb, and A host of other such institutions have been esablished and are being supported by 'him, Beides, his extensive private charity has been krowa to relieve numberless needy people of allcreeds and communities.

It was, usual on such an occasion as that for the candidate who came before them to make some statement.as

He might say he had had the audacity to offer himself as a candidate because he believed that his past experience had fitted him for the important since he had first arrived in the Colony, and position which he sought. It was 20 years during that period he had been a resident here for ten years.
