Bristow is eighteenth in line for Chief Buyer and works for the monolithic Chester-Perry Company in the Chester-Perry building. This book commemorates such events as the Great Tea Trolley Disaster of '67, explains what a buying clerk does to keep his or her head down all day, and describes the Hierarchy led by Sir Reginald Chester-Perry (who has even been seen, so we know he exists). Interspersed with the much-loved illustrations is Frank Dickens' text charting the development of a strip cartoon legend.
