COMPANY MEETING
RAPHAEL TUCK AND SONS THE thirty-sixth annual general meeting of Raphael Tuck and Sons, Ltd., was held on October 26th in London, Sir Edgar L.Waterlow, Bt., M.A. (the Chairman) presiding.
With regard to the past year's trading, he wished at the outset to say that whatever they had succeeded in doing that year, or failed to do, one thing was certain—that they had succeeded in maintaining the prestige and foremost position they had so long enjoyed as the leading fine art publishers.
Turning to some of the individual departments, shareholders would be gratified to learn that the Christmas and greeting card department had fully maintained its turnover of the previous year, which was considerably greater than it was in those more palmy days when a full dividend was being paid on the company's shares. He was proud to say that the company had been privileged to pro- duce in this, the first year of the reign of King Georgt VI, the Christmas cards for their Majesties the King and Queen, her Majesty Queen Mary, and other members of the Royal Family This was now the fifth consecutive reign in which their firm had enjoyed the privilege of supplying the Royal Christmas cards. The calendar department's productions continued to lead the field in regard to style and creative art. _ . The report and accounts were unanimously adopted.
