Nobility.

London, Feb. with the approaching
merger Of the historic English banking
house of Messrs. Coutts 4 Co. with the
National Provincial and Union Bank OF
England disappears the name Of an insti-
tuition which for more than two centuries
has stood foremost in international
finance. For, directly or indirectly, the
house OF Coutts has been associated in
that period with every event which Affect
ed the welfare OF Europe and her peoples
From the days of the Georges, Coutts Il
Co. have been bankers to the royal family
OF England and to most Of the nobility.
And until 1904, when they moved to new
quarters, their dingy old brick house in
the Strand, near Norfolk street, was one
of the landmarks for sightseers from the
United States.
The family Of Coutts, stretching back
IN unbroken sequence for 500 years, is of
ancient Scottish stock, which up to the
middle of the seventeenth century had
been Of Auchintoul, until one of its MEM
bers in 1850 started business as note
broker and exchange banker at Melrose.
II was in 1890 that John Campbell,
born in Auchintoul. was carrying on a
small banking business at the Sign of the
Three Crowns. He built the house which
was to remain the headquarters of the
firm for 2l4 years. Upon his death in l7i2
his partner, George Middleton, assumed
the management of the business, aided by
the younger Campbells, until, in 1742
they were joined 10y James Coutts, son OF
John Coutts, financier who had attained
the position of Lord Provost Of Edin-
burgb.

James Coutts had already established a
London branch of the Edinburgh busi-
ness in Middleton, in 1737 With the re-
tirement Of the last of the Campbells in
17f0 James Coutts became sole manager
and took into partnership his younger
brother. Thomas, greatest in long line Of
brilliant tinanciers. and known TO all of his
time ms the shabby little man in the

Early one summer morning Thomas
Coutts, in his rusty brown suit, with
stockings that hung loosely around his
legs, took his seat according to his custom
on a bench in the little park outside the
pavilion. A benevolent old lady, out for
her morning walk, noticed seefnin gly

Then she added, II will gee you here

Mr. Coutts, with courtly bow
thanked his benefactress and assured her
that he would certainly be on hand by the

Then he returned TO the pavilion, but in
