BANKS AND BEER
There is no connection now between Barclay’s Brewery and Barclay’s Bank, but there was once. Barclays, Hoaros, Buxtons, and (in Ireland) Guinnesses, says a London paper, are equally wellknown in both departments of public activity. Tho obvious explanation seems to ho that farmers and others used to sell their produce to the local brewer, and left their money with him until they wanted it. In time a banking business grew up, was extended, and ultimately separated from the parent stem. The Bank of England, by its charter, ill has the right of selling beer, but ho would bo a "bold man who asked for half a pint of “mild and bitter” at the Consols counter.
