The will of the late M • Henry Samson Clark, founder of the advertising firm of Samson Clark, draws attention to the work that women have achieved in business.

Miss Reynolds's career is something: of a business romance, as she joined the firm as typist, and bv her great business capacity worked her way up to the position' of director. She is one of the v-ioneer women in advertising, and has specialised in advertisement as an anneal to women.
