BRITISH ARMY RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN - 1914


At William Hutton and Sons Ltd on West Street, Herbert Hutton spoke of the causes of the war and the importance of a formidable number of troops. He asked for volunteers to follow the example set by their 17 colleagues who had already enlisted. The result was 80 men volunteered themselves, of whom 24 were married, most for the full duration of the war. A request was made that they should all serve in the same regiment so that they could face the enemy in friendly company.

Messrs. W. Hutton and Son are about vacating their old premises at Thavies Inn, where they are so widely known, and have taken the extensive showrooms formerly occupied by Messrs. Maw and Son, Farringdon Road. They will thus be only a few hundred yards from their old place, as the new galleries are only just round the corner from Charterhouse Street. The imposing building is undergoing extensive structural alterations, which will no doubt result in magnificent showrooms.

P. N. Johnson, of Hatton Garden, the founder of the firm of Johnson, Matthey & Co., commenced the refining of nickel in England about 1830, and W. C. Hutton, who obtained the metal from this source, and resold much of his output to Johnson, specialized in the production of spoons, forks, etc., both in 'British plate'—the alloy it self—and in 'Argentine plate'—the alloy covered with a thin coating of sheet silver.
