AIRDRIE BREAD SOCIETY 1857-1898
The society was formed in July 1857 and was registered[1]. In 1879 it was found that the treasurer had been taking money from the society and absconded. The secretary and president had been aware of irregularities but had kept quiet on the understanding that the treasrer would sort it out. Amongst other practices, authorised official had been signing blank cheques for the treasurer to complete. An assessment of the accounts determined that the treasurer had taken £500 over a period of about 9 months and manipulated the accounts to hide it[2].
In August 1898 there was a call to wind up the company[3]. The society was reported as defunct in 1904, indicating that the society was wound up at this time[4].
