Rubber seeds and Henry Wickham’s legacy in rubber trade
London reminiscences recount Sir Henry Wickham transplanting rubber from the Amazon to the East, enabling British and Dutch control of the rubber monopoly. His risky expedition, seed smuggling, and efforts to seed cultivation near Santarem aided the global rubber boom, while the tale notes his limited personal profits. Plus local notices: Miss Lillian Freeland, cashier at Buttman Market. Miss Frelda Cohen, stenographer at Griland’s hospital. A J Reed joins Wulff Engineering.
