West Australian, 4 August 1910, p. 3 stated:
"In the Matter of Wong Bue and Wong Chew.
Wong Chew, examined by the Official Re-ceiver, said that he had been in partnership with his brother Wong Bue for the past two years. They started business as pro-duce merchants in James-street with a capi-tal of £400 borrowed from Wong Wah, Wong Wing, and Wong Let. They made a living the first 12 months, but were unable to repay any of the capital which they had borrowed. He attributed their failure in the second year to the loss of £400, owed by Lawrence, who had gone insolvent, and to an action by a Tasmanian firm, who were suing for the recovery of money for a consignment of potatoes which had been shipped back to Tasmania in consequence of Irish blight.
The examination was adjourned sine."
Further details about this company would be contained in State Records Office, S165, Cons 3560, 1910/057 - Bankruptcy file (not yet examined).
