Sir William Treloar, presiding at the meeting of Rcdferns, Limited, London, said the directors considered the results of the year's trading satisfactory, and that the progress they were making justified them in the course they were pursuing. The profit made was quite: sufficient to enable them to pay a dividend upon the ordinary shares, but thf.y wanted the monev in the business. The book debts had 'increased XiOMU, because some of their best customers had not been so prompt in their payment as they ought to be. Ladies would not pay their dressmakers so promptly as they did their butchers, their bakers, and their candlestick makers.
