The annual dinner and dance held by the staff of Henley's Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd., and its parent company, W. T. Henley's Telegraph Works Co., Ltd., took place at the Wharncliffe Rooms, London, on March 5th.

Madden, who is concerned with tyre sales, the response being by Mr. W. J. Potter, who presided at the dinner, and by Mr. W. G. Smale.
