This style of receipt having been originally printed in 1931 and therefore states the over 120 years trading term. .

The use of the red hand of Ulster trademark, we believe, was introduced in their centennial year (1911).

At this stage William J Clarke, was running the business. He started in the business as a junior salesman in 1890.

His three sons would ultimately join the business in 1925, 1926 and 1947.
