ADVERTISEMENTS. JUNE 30, 1938. BY APPOINTMENT TO HIS LATE MAJESTY KING GEORGE V fcY APPOINTMfNTTO HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARY Established in 1807, Hoopers became within 30 years from that date one of the leading firms of Coachbuilders in the World, and have maintained that position for more than a century. During the whole of that period they have had the honour to be principal coachbuilders to the. British Royal Family, and have supplied carriages and (later) motor bodies to many Royal and Distinguished Personages in other countries. During the Great War, 1914-1918, Hoopers' factories at Chelsea and Wembley were almost wholly engaged in building aeroplanes. This department was closed down in 1919, and the works were henceforward devoted almost entirely to the building of high-class motor bodies. But in 1937 a new factory for aeroplane work was built, adjoining the main factory in Western Avenue, Acton ; and now Hoopers are again devoting the greater part of their attention to aeroplane work, chiefly for Airspeed Oxfords. HOOPER & Co. (COACHBUILDERS) LTD. 54, ST. JAMES'S ST.. PICCADILLY, LONDON. S.W.I
