British United Shoe Machinery Co.
Notes from the newspapers about employees

Rushden Argus, 25th May 1917, transcribed by Kay Collins

Presentation—An interesting presentation was made at the British United Shoe Machinery Co.’s Depot on Saturday to Mr. Ivan Allen, son of Mr. Allen, the town sanitary inspector. Mr. T. Smith, the manager, presented Mr. Allen, the stock clerk, with a nice silver cigarette case, on his leaving the firm to join the Motor Transport. Mr. Smith voiced the good wishes of the staff, and hoped the young man would have a happy and successful career in H.M. Forces.
