Family Baker, cook, and confectioner, 37 Winton Terrace, Crosshill, Glasgow.

Mr David Turner. 1890.

In 1889 Mr David Turner opened premises at 37 Winton Street, Crosshill on the south side of Glasgow, as a family baker, cook and confectioner. Bred to the business he had a good taste for food and trained in some of the best establishments in Glasgow, including sixteen years as manager, “below stairs” for the well known firm of Messrs. Ferguson & Forrester, Buchanan Street.

Mr Turner was an artist in cake baking, he made wedding, christening and birthday cakes. Probably the largest and most expensive cake over made in the country was baked by him, it cost fifty five pounds ten shillings and weighing over three hundred pounds and was sent all the way to Buenos Ayres. Another large cake was made in the shape of the famous steam-hammer “Sampson” of the Parkhead Forge and was exact in every detail, not forgetting the workmen all at their posts.

Christmas buns were a large trade which were sent all over the country and abroad. Real calves-foot jelly, for invalids, was also in stock. Mr Turner handled exclusively the “Salutary” bread which had received a most flattering commendatory criticism from J Miller Fothergill, Esq., M.D., the well known author of “The Food we eat: why we eat it, and whence it comes,” and several other works on food and health.

The Vaults, and the Queen’s Hotel, Dundee.

Mr William Smith. 1887.

William Smith was born in Dundee and was thoroughly trained to the trade, and being possessed of a good business qualifications, opened the Vaults around 1865 and became a prosperous wine, spirit and malt liquor merchant.

In 1887 he had an extensive trade and was considered to be the largest bottled beer trade in the district, where he was sole agent for Messrs. Bass & Co. of Burton-on-Trent. In 1877 he launched the palatial establishment the Queen’s Hotel and it was this he was best known by those who visited the North.

Situated on the banks of the Tay and overlooking the Tay bridge the Hotel had an interesting and beautiful view. Both internally and externally the hotel was architecturally a wonderful design. The Queen’s Hotel was the favourite resort of visitors to Dundee attracting tourists and businessmen from all over the world.

Large numbers were drawn by the Tay Bridge which in turn amde the Queen’s Hotel very popular. Amongs the guests included His Royal Highness the King of Saxony and his suite, as well as a large number of the nobility and distinguished visitors in Scotland. The fitting up of the Saloons, Cuisine, Stabling, etc., were capable of satisfying princely patronage, whilst the commercial side was equally well provided.

Royalty Burns Club Bowlers and Golfers.

The Royalty Burns Club was founded in 1882, but that it is a very lively nonagenarian was obvious at the annual dinner and dance in the Central Hotel, Glasgow, where a really festive atmosphere prevailed.

After the traditional meal Cliff Hanley took matters in hand in proposing “The Immortal Memory”, which proved to be only a peg on which to hang a racy speech packed with anecdotes which had the large company, as they say, “in stitches.”

The thanks to the orator was moved by Mr. Roy Grier and the toast of the Club was proposed by Mr. A. Shearer. A novel touch was provided by Mr. Robert S Millar and Mrs Margaret Skeoch, in proposing and acknowledging respectively the toast of “The Lasses,” for they both spoke in rhyme.

An appeal for Burns beneficiaries by Mr. O. G. Prosser brought in the record sum of £230. All in, it was a memorable occasion and great credit is due to Mr. C. R. Blues, the president, Mr. J. G. Jaap, hon, secretary, and the committee who organised the event.
