could mention a number of these old firms with
fine traditions. The Hardmans have continued
for four generations and the Hamertons. Mr.
William Fry founded the firm of William Fry &
Son and he was followed by his son, Sir William
Fry, then came W. Haughton Fry, and now his
son, here to-day. Archibald Robinson & Son,
another firm of four generations, now represented
by Archie Robinson, great-grandson of
the
founder. These are only a few of the long-estab
lished firms.
As the sands of life run down, passing through
the hour glass, I shall continue to remember your
great kindness, and I only trust that there may
be many other portraits around our Hall to keep
company with mine, for I feel that I am not the
only one entitled to the great honour which you
have paid to me. I thank you, Mr. Hamill, for
originating the idea. I thank the President and
Council for arranging for the painting of the
portrait, and my brothers and sisters of my
profession, who have so kindly joined in the
presentation. I shall remember your kindness
until the closing days of my life. Many thanks to
one and all.
I would also like to thank Mr. Leo Whelan for
the time, attention and care which he gave to
the painting of my portrait. It was a great pleas
ure to be associated with him and most restful
to be in his studio with no telephone rings or
other interruptions."
