-THE City of Rochester will always have I cause to remember the haulage firm of -R. Swain and Sons, Ltd., just as the Swain family are proud of their association with the -city, Which dates back to 1901.
Aid. H. R. Swain, a former mayor of Rochester, has presented to the corpora: tion the latest addition to the city's collection of silver plate. The gift is a silver cruet. set, fashioned in the shape Of one of the Leyland Octopus buries used by
his firm. • . .
It was after Ald. Swain and his brother returned from the first world war that the family's haulage contracting. business really began, a business which has flourished over the years and in which several members of the family are connected, although the only active.members now are Aid. Swain and his son Mr. G. W. Swain.
