Appointment of Judge

Another distinction has come Mexboro’s way by the appointment of Mr. Frank Clayton, of the well-known High Street establishment of provision dealers, as a judge in the butcher, bacon and Cheshire cheese classes of the 36th Grocers’ Exhibition in the Agricultural Hall, London, September 17-23.

This is the largest and most important exhibition of its kind held in the British Isles, and it is the first time a judge has been drawn from our immediate district. The appointment is a tribute to Mr. Clayton’s personal standing in the provision trade, as well as to the old shrewd Mexboro’ tradition of being able to “tell a good thing when we see it.”

Mr. Clayton’s actual duties as judge will engage him on three days, 20th, 21st and 2nd September. when he will be called on to adjudicate on the best that can be procured by British grocers in butter, bacon and Cheshire cheese—the last-named commodity being well enough known hereabouts but not half so well in the South.
