Presentation
A very pleasing event took place yesterday week at the closing department of Messrs. C W Horrell Ltd., boot manufacturers. Miss A Clarke, manageress of the department, was the recipient of a cowhide dressing case, silk lined and suitably inscribed. Miss Clarke, who is leaving to take up a similar appointment with Messrs John Cave and Sons Ltd, expressed her gratitude to the staff and girls of the Closing Department, who in turn wished Miss Clarke every success.
