KNOTTINGLEY
IN 1971
19th August 1971
Knottingley District Best For Honesty
If
Knottingley, Ferrybridge, Cridling Stubbs and Womersley were to have a
joint motto it could well be; "Honesty is the best policy." Why?
- because the honesty of townspeople and villagers has earned the praise
of Mr. Joseph Fitton, who because of ill health has retired from running
his mobile shop. Mr. Fitton, who is 61, gives this verdict; "You
could not find more honest people anywhere than the people of Knottingley
and the neighbouring villages." And Mr. Fitton should know, because
this is the area in which he has traded for the past 14 years and he is
qualified to make comparisons, for he has been in business in various
parts of the country virtually all his working life.
He
says; "You hear so much about bad debt and businesses being forced to
close down. My wife Margaret and I have never had any trouble like that in
our 14 years with the mobile shop."
Mr.
Fitton thanks his customers who have supported his service over the years.
He says: "It is a great pleasure to my wife and I to know that we
have been so much appreciated."
Mr.
Fittton, who was born in Huddersfield, came to Knottingley in 1953 as a
wholesale potato merchant. He and his wife are planning to move to Brigg,
Lincolnshire and Mr. A. Woodhouse, of Castleford, is taking over the
business.
