It was not long before the premises were altogether too small, not having more than half the capacity to meet the requirements of all the customers. This was due to the excellent style and magnificent wearing qualities of the goods produced, the specialities of which were, and are, Army Bluchers, Napoleons, Wellingtons, Deck Slippers, and Pegged Bluchers of every description.

Some six years ago a new factory was built on the best and up-to-date principle, and is now fully equipped with high-class and up-to-date machinery, which places them in a position to hold their own against all healthy competition.

The business was converted into a limited Company in 1915, with Mr. Alfred Phillips as Managing Director.
