Jackson (Hairdresser) Ltd which became incorporated (ie a Limited Company) in 1900 and which was dissolved in 1965. 1900 or a bit either side would be the likely timeframe judging by the auction picture, and as a lot of companies trade before becoming a limited company then this does not exclude them - if indeed it is 'M' rather than 'N'!
