Here’s an award winning retailer’s window.
This Bee themed window at Stocks put itself forward in the Henley on Thames Regatta ‘Shop Window competition’ and found itself voted one of the best shop windows in 2017. Sandie Russell of Stocks said, “We’re really pleased to get an award in our first year of entering.
she went on to say “Our window featured bee pictures by local artist Tasmin Pyper. Our whole ethos is to promote the best of local. Tasmin has created some special cards and notelets for Henley which include oars and swans.”
Carbon Colour produced hexagonal hanging cards which were suspended from the interior ceiling, and make it appear that bees are in the window space.

Our own corporate identity seems to have somehow been influenced by this Royal Mail stamp issue which was issued as part of its millenium series entitled Fire and Light. The 64-pence “Lighting Croydon’s skyline” stamp features a photograph by David Montgomery and appears in the second phase of the Royal Mail’s Year 2000 Millennium Collection. It captures the spectacular, environmentally-friendly lighting scheme installed on Croydon’s skyline.

Henry F. Phillips (1890–1958) was a US businessman from Portland, Oregon. The Phillips-head (“crosshead”) screw and screwdriver are named after him.
The importance of the crosshead screw design lies in its self-centering property, useful on automated production lines that use powered screwdrivers. Phillips’ major contribution was in driving the crosshead concept forward to the point where it was adopted by screwmakers and automobile companies.
Biography
An engineer, Phillips was an acquaintance of John P. Thompson, who sold his self-centering design to Phillips in 1935 after failing to interest manufacturers. Phillips formed the Phillips Screw Company in 1934, and after refining the design himself (U.S. Patent #2,046,343, U.S. Patents #2,046,837 to 2,046,840) for the American Screw Company of Providence, Rhode Island, succeeded in getting the design quickly adopted by industry.One of the first customers, in 1937, was General Motors for its Cadillac assembly-lines. By 1940, 85% of U.S. screw manufacturers had a license for the design.
