Mr. S. R. Whale
Mr. S. R. Whale, the Senior Partner, served an apprenticeship with Messrs Taylor and Co., manufacturing jewellers to the trade in Christchurch, and was for four years in that firm's employment as working jeweller. He then, in 1898, started in business on his own account in Chancery Lane, where he met with a large amount of success in manufacturing for the trade only.
