CRITERION RESTAURANTS.

When the general depression of trade, and not least the depression in the Metropolis, is considered, the latest report of Criterion Restaurants, Limited, covering the year to March 31st last is a satisfactory one. The profit for the year of £41,520 was practically identical with a year ago, and the directors are able to maintain the dividend of 121 per cent., less tax, placing a further £8,000 to reserve and carrying forward a slightly higher amount to the new year. * * * *
