While these printed catalogues indicate the Pullan's was a fairly large operation, we have been able to find out much information about them. Sessional Papers indicated they were incorporated in 1915 and the catalogues give the address as ‘Pullan Building, Bay & Wellington'. An advert appearing in a contemporary magazine notes that they ‘specialized in the manufacture of suits and coats.' Both these catalogues are devoted to women's fashion--dresses, suits, and coats. Each style is pictured and is described below. The only other copy of a Pullan's catalogue that we have located is held by TPL and is the 48th catalogue which they date 1925.
