The story of the circus elephant I am told is true. According to Boothroyd: "Prior to the First World war, E.C. Greener, was invited by the Metropolitan Police to shoot an elephant outside Caaring Cross Station.

The elephant, belonging to a circus, had become restive and uncontrollable, and was duly shot. The head and trunk was presented to Mr. Greener who adopted it as a trade mark, and was shown on letterheads etc." Who knows, it might be true. You have a nice Greener.

Best Regards, George
