The Times, January 2, 1900 (re Exhibit at Livingstone Exhibition) : “ There are wonderful beds and chairs, which resolve
themselves into a bundle of sticks and a small parcel; there is a combined washhand-stand and bath, so compact and con
venient that it almost vanishes before the eyes. One article specially worth notice is a real sun-helmet, a thing as different
as possible from the heavy police helmets, slightly disguised in khaki, with which our troops were furnished.”
The Outfitter, January 6, 1900: “Joseph Tucker exhibited air-tight trunks and boxes, cabin trunks, tents and hammocks,
sleeping valises, camp furniture, folding bedsteads, mattresses, mosquito netting, holdalls, and kit-bags; also special woollen
material clothing, hosiery and haberdashery, hoots and shoes, helmets, hats and caps, blankets, sheets, pillows, cushions,
and travelling rugs. Altogether, the outfitting trade is well and worthily represented in its special section, and one can
thoroughly appreciate the pains taken nowadays to cater for the hygienic requirements of travellers and missionaries.”
Nursing Notes, June, 1900 : “ Everything connected with tropical outfits can be procured at Tucker’s Colonial Stores,
79, Newington Green Road, N. (three minutes from Mildmay Park, N.L.Ry.). They are great missionary outfitters, and
therefore have a wide experience of what is required in the most various climates, and their prices are reasonable.”
