Henry Isaacs
Henry Isaacs (1831 – 2 August 1909), London-born, was a prominent general merchant in Auckland, New Zealand, from 1850 to 1875, principally through the firm known as E. and H. Isaacs. His elder brother Edward (1820–1891), who established the firm's Melbourne base in 1842, moved to Auckland in 1865 and they ran a troop provisioning business from central Auckland during the invasion of the Waikato. By centuries old tradition this, as with other army contracts, could on occasion be a lucrative business.
