History
Frederick L Newton (born 28th February 1880) was a resident of Abbotsford Place, Glasgow and attended The Glasgow School of Art in the 1917-1918 session. He was an evening student who studied drawing and painting and was taught by Mr J.W. Ferguson.
Frederick is noted as being a manager to the Initial Towel Company which was founded by American Mr A.P. Bigelow in 1903 and provided a towel rental service first to London businesses, before it expanded both within the UK and internationally. The company was acquired by Rentokil plc in 1996 before being renamed Rentokil Initial and becoming part of the FTSE 100.
