Died. Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, 81, most famed of British sportsmen, self-made tea tycoon; in his sleep after a ten-day cold; in London. Born in a Glasgow tenement, he went to the U. S. at 15 seeking his fortune, returned when he had saved $500. He had worked in a grocery shop in New York, saw possibilities in the U. S. way of displaying and selling green groceries. His first shop in Glasgow was a success, with Proprietor Lipton behind the counter in white overalls and an apron. From the beginning he believed in advertising, kept his shop lighted at night, distributed handbills. Once in Glasgow he stopped traffic by having a sleek pig paraded through the streets bearing signs on its sides, "I am going to Lipton's. The best shop in town for Irish Bacon." He opened shop after shop until he built a chain of some 600. In 1885 he began specializing in tea, developed his own plantations in Ceylon. His interests widened to include candy shops in London, ginger ale plants in Ireland, a slaughter house in Chicago. In 1898 his enterprise was incorporated, his fortune estimated at $50,000,000. His motto: "Never take a partner." When he was made a baronet in 1902, this changed to "Labor Omnia Vincit" ("Work conquers all") beneath a coat of arms with a crest showing two arms crossed, the horny hands clutching a sprig of tea plant, a sprig of coffee plant. All his life Sir Thomas loved ships, owned a steam yacht before he was interested in sailing. He first challenged for the America's Cup in 1899 with Shamrock, followed in 1901, 1903, 1920, 1930 by successive Shamrocks. He never won the Cup. He spent $10,000,000 on these races, was considering another challenge on behalf of the Royal Yacht Squadron, to which he was at last elected in May.
