Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, 1st Baronet, KCVO (10 May 1848 - 2 October 1931) was a Scotsman of Irish parentage who was a self-made man, merchant, and yachtsman. [Directors R. P. Spink, H. F. May, C. H. Lovell]

(Book #ID 96776)

Printed 26th April 1951. 1951.

Hard back binding in original full green leather, five raised bands to the spine with gilt decorations, elaborate gilt tooling to the the front and rear boards, Lipton 'L', gilt dentelles, all page edges, raised silk end papers. 8vo. 9½'' x 7½''. In 1870 Thomas Lipton initially helped his parents run their small shop in the Gorbals. The following year he opened his first provision shop 'Lipton's Market' at 101 Stobcross Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. This enterprise proved to be successful and Lipton soon established a chain of groceries, first across Glasgow, the rest of Scotland, until finally he had stores throughout Britain. While Lipton was expanding his empire, tea prices were falling and demand was growing among his middle class customers. In 1880, Lipton invested in the young stockyards of Omaha, Nebraska, founding a large packing plant in South Omaha which he sold to American interests in 1887. In 1888, when his empire had grown to 300 stores, he entered the tea trade and opened his tea-tasting office. He started bypassing traditional trading and wholesale distribution channels (most UK tea-trading was focused in London's Mincing Lane) in order to sell teas at unprecedented prices to the untapped poor working class market. In order to provide his shops with goods Lipton bought tea gardens and in doing so, he established the Lipton tea brand, which remains in business as a subsidiary of Unilever. A presentation retirement book to Mr. Scotcher for services rendered to the Lipton brand, who joined the company in 1936 and was presented this book on his retirement in 1951. Hand written in gold and black with lovely hand drawn colour illustrations by R. Barrett. First page reads 'The purposes of this book, Mr. Scotcher, are manifold. It is written to you, and about you, and, it tries to tell you what all of us in the Lipton business feel about you'. In Fine condition. Member of the P.B.F.A.
