"From a government sponsored and prestigious British East African business directory for 1908-9 come these descriptions of Abdool Hoosein & Bros & Co: firstly the Mombasa branch:
Two special points about this Indian firm must be noticed. First they are importers only; and secondly, no stock is carried, as the business is entirely indent...the Mombasa branch is managed by Mr Abdoolali Peru Dewjee. They import from England, the Continent, United States, India China and Japan, mostly piece goods.
