(quinine water, Bitter Lemon), a bubbly Londoner who left a successful chain store busi ness to put some fizz in the 169-year-old mixer maker, quintupled Schweppes's output and profit with snob appeal advertising featuring Commander Whitehead among the Yanks and veddy British "Schweppigrams" at home;* of a probable heart attack; in London...
