"From small acorns big oak trees grow". After 50 years of honest trading we look back with satisfaction upon the fact that from a small shed our business has grown to a large commodious factory, fitted with a plant of the latest up-to-date machinery which enables us to produce Men's and Ladies' Walking and Sports Shoes to suit the eye and pocket and to fit the feet. "We serve the world" is not only our slogan but is a fact. Our export turnover has shown yearly increases since 1921, proving our contention that our products are right for each market.
In the following pages are shown actual photographs of a few of our productions selling in the overseas markets.
We thank our many friends the world over for past favours and look forward with confidence for their support in the future.

The Rushden Echo and Argus, 25th March 1949, transcribed by Jim Hollis
Fire System Linked to Main
Despite the risk of a large draw-off of water from the tower in the event of fire, Higham Ferrers and Rushden Water Board have agreed to Messrs. Geo. Selwood and Co. Ltd., connecting the sprinkler valve system in their Rushden factory to the new main in Newton Road.
The Surveyor pointed out that there would be a large draw-off in case of fire, though it was unlikely that all the sprinklers would be in operation the whole of the time.
It would be possible for the tower to be emptied in a long period. In any case, the fire service would probably draw off more water than the sprinkler system.
