WILLIAM MEIKLE, Slater and Slate Merchant, 48, East Howard Street, Glasgow.

    Amongst the more important industries in connection with the building trade may be indicated that, for so many years past, associated with the old-established business conducted by the late Mr. William Meikle, Slater and Slate Merchant, now continued by the trustees to that gentleman’s estate under the able management of Mr. Donald Arnott, who is one of the representatives of that body.

    The premises, situated at 48, East Howard Street, comprise suite of offices with spacious yard and stores in the rear, providing ample accommodation for the operations of the business. The yards are well stored with every description of slates for building and sanitary purposes and for the important contracts and orders in course of completion. The work undertaken by the firm includes the execution of all kinds of slating, roofing, &c., in which the late proprietor had secured an extensive and valuable connection, having been associated for many years past with some of the largest contracts in the West of Scotland and other parts of the country. A branch business has also been established at Strathbungo, which is conducted on similar lines to the headquarters at Glasgow, the services of a large number of skilled hands being employed in each department.

    The whole details of the management under the experienced control of Mr. Arnott, well sustain the time-honoured reputation of the house or skilful workmanship and careful and prompt attention.
