Administrative/Biographical History

The firm is recorded as Linen Merchants, Dundee in 1867 though, it is probable that the company was in existence prior to this date. Although never officially registered as a Limited Company the firm became known as Julius Salomon & Company after 1885. Salomon's continued to expand both at home and abroad (particularly in Scandinavia/Baltic trade) as agents for finished goods: linen; tarpaulins; sacks etc. and as suppliers to the textile industry. Julius Salomon & Company ceased trading c.1969.
