A lion, representing England, and an owl, representing wisdom, support a symbol of the Archangel Michael. A pair of golden scales portrays justice (and fair trading), white roses represent Yorkshire, where Michael Marks had his first stall, a ladder (from Jacob`s dream) is a sign of the aspiration and will to improve, and a horn of plenty stands for the plentitude of goods sold by the company. | |||
