THE CHINA MAIL, APRÍL 12, 1989.-
READY FOR EMERGENCIES
Presiding at the Forty-second Annual General Meeting of Bovril Ltd., in London, the Lord Luke, K.B.E. (Chairman), after dealing with the Company's Accounts said he was on the high seas on his way -home" from America during the crisis last September, and on his ar- rival home noticed in the papers a
photograph of various food pro- ducts that had been collected for sale for charity. They were termed "hoarded goods" and there seemed tú be more bottles of Bovril than any other product in the photo- graph. This was not surprising, but what was very surprising was that it should be considered hoarding for the housekeeper to purchase an ex- tra stock of Bovril, unless she had done so in a hurry at the last min- ute. The kind of hoarding which was objectionable was obviously that last-minute rush, when a crisis arrived, to buy up and hoard away a large stock. On the other hand, to buy a reasonable stock of Bovril before a crisis arrived seemed a proper thing to do. Those who pur- chased Bovril for a period ahead were actually leaving more chance in a crisis for those who had not get what was available in the shops.
