...Bottles. The new nightclub is the most startling evidence yet of Lyons' efforts to change the image it has had ever since the 1890s. Noting the difficulty of getting light refreshment in London anywhere except in pubs, three tobacco merchants-Brothers Montague and Isidore Gluckstein and Brother-in-law Barnett Salmon-set up a teashop to give women shoppers a quiet, inexpensive place to lunch.

And with new tea and coffee plants opening up in South Africa and Canada, Lyons could well be confident-on the strength of food, if not Frood-of becoming greater than ever...
