Quite right, they were clothing contractors, listed in directories as 'army tailors', 'army contractors' etc but obviously branched out to police uniform contractors if they had their name on the back of police buttons.

It was normal practice for the button manufacturer to put the name of the clothing retailer on the back of buttons if they were a good customer.
