No. 3867. — “ Empire ” Gas Generator . — Exhibited by 
Richard Thornton, Gosforth, Newcastle. This is a petrol gas-

very well arranged appliance taking up little space, and

It was very deeply regretted that the valuable services of the

bereavement sustained during the Show ; but my colleague 
(Mr. James Younger) and myself wish to thank his assistant 
(Mr. Amos) for the very great help rendered during the in-

The Judges’ thanks are also due to the Implement Stewards 
(Mr. R. M. Greaves and Mr. Claude M. S. Pilkington) for their 
invaluable assistance and kindness to them during the judging 
of the New Implements and inspection of the other exhibits 
on the Show Ground. 
Before concluding I wish to express my best thanks to 
my esteemed colleague for his kind courtesy and valued services 
rendered to me during the time we were engaged in inspecting 
and judging the Implements.
