Carried by the Cabinet & Chairmakers, no. 5 in the Edinburgh Reform Jubilee, 10 August 1932.
The word REFORM has been painted down the pole sleeve, for this procession and may
indicate the banner is of an earlier date. This flag may have belonged to the Edinburgh Society of Cabinet and Chair Makers 1830-74.
This banner is a statement of the pride of craftsmen in their work and carries a defensive statement.
