Horne and Co., Ltd., to increase its productive capacity, and in order to do so the company has obtained extensive works situated at High Wycombe, Bucks. The premises consist of six bays 33 ft. wide and 200 ft. long, making a block 200 ft. square.
An extra two acres of ground has been purchased at thc rear of the works, so that there is ample room for further expansion if this be necessary in the future. Although the premises were taken over as late as December 19th, production has already commenced. The originalworks at Holloway Road will also be retained, but Utilised as a spares and service depot.
Ample office accommodation has been installed and there is an extensive sec
