RICE BROTHERS, LIMITED.
This highly-reputable and widely-spread business is one of the oldest of the local trading companies, and has had a successful career since its formation. Its certificate of incorporation is dated August 11th, 1893. The Company was formed to take over the business of saddlery manufacturers and implement agents carried on by Mr. Thomas Rice and Mr. Joseph Rice, which had been established many years before in the premises now owned by Mr. George Brinkhurst and adjoining the Swan Hotel. It was for a long period owned by members of the Hay ward family, and then passed through the hands of the Charlwood and Brinkhurst families before coming to the Rices. The capital of the Company is £4,200, divided into 100 four per cent, preference shares of £10 each and 320 ordinary shares of £10 each. The whole of this has been issued. Since its incorporation the Company has opened up branches at Edenbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Haywards Heath, Lindfield and Horsham. The Directors are Messrs. P. E. Wallis (chairman), T. Voice, Thomas, Joseph, Alfred and James Rice, the last-named having taken the place of Mr. Henry Smith, who was an original Director.
