Letter accompanying certificate of membership
You have been presented with the Certificate of the Greenwich
Guild of Hygiene, the highest distinction to which a local trader
can aspire in the field of hygiene. This certificate is not only the
token of qualified membership of the Guild but is proof of the
high standard of hygiene practised in the conduct of your business.
It is a qualification not to be lightly held, and the maintenance
of the degree of hygienic practice already achieved is to be
kept constantly in mind as a point of honour.
In accepting this award you are expected to preserve this
certificate in good condition and return it to the Public Health
Department for endorsement each succeeding year from the date of
issue.
