THE VICKERS SAGA Available to Purchase

IN January 1979, Benjamin R. Vickers & Sons Ltd began its 151st calendar year as a Leeds family business engaged in general oil merchanting and the manufacturing of purpose‐blended lubricants for industry. While much of the company's current prosperity has been founded on development of oils for local needs—the processing of wool and textile products, including man‐made fibres—application of Vickers oils has ranged widely from marine stern‐tube lubrication to the supply of grease to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
