Clowes and Clowes
From Graces Guide
1873 William Archibald Clowes (1843–1904) (the son of William Clowes the younger), and his nephew, William Charles Knight Clowes (1838–1917), entered a partnership with William Moore, who operated the Caxton Press in Beccles, Suffolk. Although Moore suddenly disappeared with all the money, leaving considerable debts, the firm survived and was re-established as Clowes and Clowes. The firm grew from operating four to 15 presses in just three years. By 1876 it was valued at over £20,000 and had fifteen power printing presses.
1880 Clowes and Clowes merged with William Clowes and Sons to form William Clowes Ltd.
