Excerpt from The Model Member: Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Forty Years Representative of the Stirling Burghs In the middle of last century few firms were held in higher respect in Glasgow than J. 81 W.

The handsome pile of buildings they erected in Ingram Street was regarded with local pride as evidence not only of the prosperity of an individual business house, but of the ia creasing growth of the world-wide trade of the city.
