MR. J. A. TARRANT

FAREWELL DINNER BY CHINESE STAFF.

The high esteeni and respect which Mr. J. A. Tarrant hus nequired with the Chinese members of the star of Messrs. A. S. Watson and

Co., Ltd., during

bis 30 years as Secretary · of the company, was made apparent at the dinner given in his honour last night at the Kwong Chow restaurant on the occasion of 1hit retirement. The whole, of the Chinese stal of about 60 was present and Mr. W. 'Puterson who is to be Mr. Turrant's successor.

Mr. Tarrant was presented with n silver cocktail set as a memento of the appreciation of the Chinese staff for all the work which he had done on their behalf during his associn- tion with the company.

In making the presentation Mr. Peter Wong said:

Mr. Tarrant as we all know is retiring. He has given 39 years service to the Firm of A. S. Watson & Co. Ltd., of which he is Secretary. Ils administrative ability, his fore- sight, his hard working qualities

and wholehearted attention to the busi- ness and his loyalty to Watsons are

very familiar to all of us. It is not uncommon to see him in the office an hour before the usual opening hour and when everyone has gone after 5 p.m. we always see him stili. at his arduous and difficult work. So that when I said he has served Wat- sons 30 years, he has, in fact, served very much longer and these long years are the very best years of his ife. He has paved the way for and has laid the foundations of Watsons Export trade..

:

Mr. Tarrant's name is known throughout China and this statue of greatness, I

may say, is one consola- ilon to him for what he has done for the Firm of A. S. Watson & Co. Ltd. I need not say more than that he has always been pleased to do what he can to help the Chinese Staff. Any oppression to the Chinese staff which was in his power to remove, he has removed. To all those members of the Chinese staff who have at onc time or another wanted assistance from Mr. Tarrant they always recely- ed a sympathetic reply and always got satisfaction.

Mr. Tarrant is a captain of industry and

His a pillar of strength. opinions are always respected by all who came in contact with him. Through his ability in managing the business he has provided work for hundreds of Chinese and this is the reason for my calling him our bene- factor."

I understand the General Managers have been pleased to retain Mr. Tarrant in an advisory capacity. This, no doubt, is welcome news lo all of us.

I am also informed that his worthy successor has been named and you will be glad to know that he is Mr. W. Paterson who is practical and is most cfficient in his profession, chemistry. We look forward to his guidance and trust the co-operation of the Chinese staff will be found of value in increasing the business of A. S. Watson & Co. Ltd.

I

am sure that, as long as the firm of A. S. Watson & Co. Ltd. exists, which I have no doubt it will for many more years to come, the name of J. A. Tarrant will always be link-1 ed with it and will always be re- membered;

It has been my experience that the Chinese staff of A. S. Watson & Co., Limited generally have always been loyal to the Company, and that all ranks have seconded the endea- vour of their superiors in doing their respective jobs to the best of their ability; and in so doing have perienced the satisfaction of their work being well done, and, appre- ciated.

In fine, I am assured that any Individual effort-of mine, and regard for the Chinese assistants of the Company, have been well rewarded by their ready response and endea vour in regard to the object we all have in view, namely complete harmony, and united 'effort in the Company's interests.
