SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. 
It is gratifying to be able to announce that our progressive business 
has again enabled us to extend our premises. Established in the year 
1836 by the founder of the firm, the late James Carter, at 237, High 
Holborn, it became necessary in course of time to provide enlarged 
premises to keep pace with the then extending business, when a 
capacious warehouse was built on the South Side of High Holborn. 
Towards the close of the last century the commodious block at No. 97, 
High Holborn, on the North Side, was taken over by our Firm, the 
frontage of which will be familiar to many of our Customers. Now 
again the exigencies of an increasing business have rendered it 
necessary to make greater provision still, and the restriction of space in the centre of 
London has led us to erect specially designed buildings fitted with our own patent 
cleaning machinery at RAYNES PARK, in the South West of London. The specially 
designed buildings (1910-11), to which have been added (1911-12) Laboratories, Kitchens, 
Dining and Recreation Halls, are surrounded by the necessary grounds to conduct our 
experimental work in selecting, standardising, and Testing Seeds, which is such an 
essential part of our business. 
We cannot issue this notice without adding an expression of our keen appreciation 
of the long-continued patronage of our Customers and grateful thanks for their many 
recommendations, without which such an extension of our business could not have taken 
place.
