Rushden Echo, 12th February 1909, transcribed by Kay Collins A Remarkable Offer—We notice that Messrs. Cox & Co., of Rushden, are making a special offer to manufacturers putting in their latest Britannia slugging machine. They give two or three months’ free trial, and will make a present of the machine to any manufacturer who can find one to beat it, royalty or non-royalty. The firm have already 16 Britannia sluggers running in Rushden and Higham Ferrers alone, and every one of them giving entire satisfaction.
