Barclays of London
Great Banking House

The history of Barclays bank and
of the banking institutions which
from time to time have been brought
under its control, and which make it
one of the big Five of Great Brit
ain says the London Morning Post,
extends over a period of from 200 to
800 years.
Mr.. P, w. Matthews, late chief In
spector of the London Bankers Clear
ing house, who, with the assistance of
A. w. luke, a local director of Bar
clays banks, has compiled the history,
and succeeded in producing monu-
mental work.
In the period under review the char
acter of banking has completely
changed. The early goldsmith-bank
ers and trader-bankers of the Seven
teenth and Eighteenth centuries, con-
sisting of individuals and small part
nerships, have given place to the big
institutions of today.
Toward. the end of the Eighteenth
century the staff of Barclays consist
ed of three clerks, and on the appear
ance of the third as new clerk COM
ing to the office for the first time he
was dressed in the following fashion:
He wore a long tapped coat with
large pockets, the sleeves had broad
cuffs with three large buttons. some
what like the coats worn by the Green
witch pensioners of the present day,
an embroidered waiStcOat reaching
nearly down to the knees. with an
enormous bouquet in the buttonhole;
a cooked hat, powdered hair with pig
tail, a bag wig, and a golden-headed
cane similar to those subsequently
carried by the footmen of women of
rank"
There is a recorded legend attach
ing to David Bevan, the father of
cIays directors in 1888, who died two
years later at Trent park. 1t was
said of the father that he fell asleep
during a sale by auction and, nodding
at the psychological moment, awoke
to find himself the owner of Trent
park.
There is story of another drec-
tor, Douglas Kinnaird. He was "a
conspicuous figure in the political and
literary circles of London" and
close friend of Lord Byron, who made
him his trustee and dedicated to him
his "Hebrew Melodies" 1t is said
that the poet once asked the banker
to act as his second in a duel with
Southey, but that fortunately peace
was restored, mainly by the "serio-
! humorous expostulations" of the reluc-
tant second.

Franklin's Thrift Chain

1t is possibly not we'll known that
Benjamin Franklin originated one of
the most practical and beneficial "end-
less chain" schemes ever developed.
A friend in need asked him for q
small loan. Franklin accommodated
him, but instead Of asking for the re-
turn of the money he asked that the
sum be given to some person in need
of assistance. This person, in turn,
was to give the money over to still an
other worthy individual.
How far the "chain" was carried
before being broken, history does not
record. But the idea was character
istic of Franklin's sound common
sense and generous impulses.-Thrift
