Advertisement from a Christmas 1912 blotter given by Sanders and Company to clients. The firm was begun in 1905 by Sidney Saunders and William Metherell with the opening of a shop at 87 Streatham High Road. The first Brixton branch was opened c.1908 and became the firm's headquarters. Although Mr Sanders left the firm to develop rival chain James Walker, the two companies were merged in 1969. However the firm was taken over by H.Samuel in April 1984 and subsequently closed down.From the James Walker Collection.
