...German attack, and that the U. S. might be persuaded to help pay the cost of anything so obviously desirable. This school of British thought was heavily represented last week in the United Kingdom delegation sent to the ninth Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce in Berlin, a genial gathering of some 1,500 delegates from 41 nations. The British soap trust was represented by Chairman F. d'Arcy Cooper of Lever Brothers Ltd. who talked much privately about softsoaping the Germans with gold.

...English business was incorporated as a public company in 1898, but his businesses in the U. S. and Canada he kept as private enterprises until his death in 1931. Sir Thomas never went into the retail business in the U. S. as he did in England. His genial, perennial challenges for the America's Cup (in 1899, 1901, 1903. 1914, 1920, 1930), most remarkable advertising feats of a born salesman's career helped to make Thomas J. Lipton, Inc. the biggest tea-packing company in the U. S. Only Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. can compare with...
