Scope and content:
The negotiation of formal agreements between the firms of Cadbury, Fry and Rowntreeprobably began in 1889 when a Memorandum of Advertising arrangements was agreed. A JCaley and Son joined with certain of these arrangements between 1985 and [1913]. The ThreeFirm association was maintained after the war and a series of Cheltenham Agreements weresigned, so called because meetings between the companies were usually held at Cheltenham,particularly at the Suffolk House, Joint Headquarters of Cadbury Fry. Other firms entered intoFive, Six and Seven Firm agreements from 1934 onwards. In December 1956 Nestlé withdrewfrom the Five Firm Agreement and the remaining Four Firms decided to lodge an agreementwith the Registrar of Restrictive Practices with a view to registration under the RestrictivePractices Act. This led to the first case in the Restrictive Practices Court in which Rowntreeand Co was a co-respondent, the case was heard. In September 1964, the Cocoa, Chocolateand Confectionery Alliance decided to support the application, by a small number of firms, forchocolate and sugar confectionery to be exempted from the Resale Prices Act. Cadbury/Fry,Basset and Co Ltd, Mackintosh and Rowntree were chosen, as firms which had consistentlypractised retail price maintenance and set the pattern for the industry; and they were givenadministrative and other support by the Alliance. A Retail Price Maintenance Working Partywas appointed, with the four firms as members, alongside legal and economic advisors. Thecase was heard in the Restrictive Practises Court, 10 April 1967-19 June 1967.

Scope and content:
Some of the record series created by the Organisation Office are important in providinginformation on the management structure and working practices of the factory and company as awhole and merit description in some detail here.Standing Orders and Instructions were handbooks, issued to managers and directors and returnedto the Organisation Office at regular intervals to be amended and kept up to date. They form adetailed guide to the policy, authority, responsibilities and interrelationship of each division,function and department, information and statistics collected and distributed; procedures, standardsand rules covering all aspects of factory and office work. Copies of certain relevant sections of theStanding Orders and Instructions (relating to all employment matters, health and safety, factoryrules, welfare and medical provision etc.), were sent to factory departmental managers to distributeto overlookers. None of the extant copies of the Standing Orders and Instructions are later indate than 1933. (The files were stamped with a date stamp each time they were returned to theOrganisation Office for amendment.) At that time the widespread circulation of the files seems tohave ceased. Editions of selected parts of the Standing Orders may subsequently have been issuedto specific groups of mangers, as suggested by Lloyd Owen in April 1933.

Note [generalNote]:
In 1919 the Directors decided to carry out a thorough investigation into the question of profitsharing, for the guidance of the Directors and also with a view to wider national interests.William Wallace, appointed personal assistant to Benjamin Rowntree, undertook the survey.As well as obtaining information from surveys carried out by the Labour Department of theBoard of Trade in 1894 and 1912, Wallace sent a questionnaire to every ordinary employer inthe British Empire and the United States who was known or believed to have practiced profitsharing at any time. The earliest example of profit-sharing is dated 1829 (the earliest knownor documented case in the UK); and cases commencing before August 1920 were included.(Co-operative organisations and the Gas companies were considered to be special cases and

were not included in the survey and American companies were not dealt with in the Report asdiffering labour conditions in the States made comparison difficult.)

Note [generalNote]:
In October 1939 the company set aside out of profits a sum of £50,000 as a financial reserve inconnection with its Military and National Service Allowances Scheme. £30,000 of this wouldotherwise have been available under the Profit Sharing Scheme. However the company was ableto meet all claims for Services Allowances out of current revenue and the reserve fund remainedintact. In April 1945 the Directors and the Profit Sharing Committee decided to devote the £30,000to some community purpose. A Joint sub-committee was set up and reported, in May 1946, ona number of alternatives, of which the provision of a Rest House for employees was given firstpriority. The Sub-committee had found a suitable house which was for sale; Dunollie, FileyRoad, Scarborough. It was then decided that the company should meet the cost of purchasing andequipping the house (c £18,000), so that all the Money available to the Profit Sharing Committee

could be used for running it. An Advisory Committee appointed by the Profit Sharing Committeeadvised the Labour Manager on the general administration of the scheme.
