I wish to write a few lines to thank you for the Magazine and post card which you sent to me a week ago. I also wish to thank the Directors for the box of chocolate * I received from them. There are one or two chaps from the old Firm with me, and I can tell you that these gifts are greatly appreciated. It also proves that we are not forgotten when we are away. At present I am a cyclist attached to our headquarters office, and have to carry messages. The roads in this part of Flanders are made of a sandy soil, and wherever there have been holes big stones have been thrown in to repair them, so you can judge what a pleasure it is cycling in this country. In bad weather the roads are totally unfit for traffic, unless you are inclined to risk a mud bath or slip into the ditches. Motor cyclists get on no better, for I came across one some time ago fixed in the mud.” The Cocoa Works outright sale The Cocoa Works shared ownership Built by Joseph Rowntree in the early 1890s, this was York’s famous garden factory.

Retrieved 7 November 2017.We have some very wild and untrained horses to master. We often get them wild and untamed from American prairies. Lately we have had some wounded mules from the front. We are getting duty hot, and often when I am on night-guard during the long lonely watches of the night I wish I had some ‘Elect’ to keep me company.”

The Rowntree brand is also used on a number of ice lollies (made by R&R Ice Cream) for Nestlé. [47] The brand has a similar marketplace to that of the Trebor Bassett division of Cadbury's, and competes head-to-head with this company in a number of fruit-gum categories.

At the behest of Lloyd George in 1915 he served as Director of the newly-established Welfare Department at the Ministry of Munitions, and worked on the implementation of the principles of ‘scientific management’ in the munitions factories and in safeguarding the well-being of the factory workers. In 1916, when Asquith was forced from office to be replaced by Lloyd George, he appointed Rowntree to his Reconstruction Committee, at which Beatrice Webb described him as ‘an invaluable individual member of the Committee, eager to spend his time and money in working up special subjects…[he was] too modest and hesitating in opinion to lead a committee.’ Henry moved the firm from Coppergate to Tanner's Moat in 1864 and in 1869 he was joined in the business by his brother, Joseph Rowntree. A breakthrough came in 1881 when, with the help of a French confectioner, the firm began the manufacture of pastilles, previously imported from France.
