  • The Life and Death of Protestant Businesses in Independent Ireland
    1 The Life and Death of Protestant Businesses in Independent Ireland Frank Barry Trinity College Dublin September 2017 Introduction Non-Catholics made up only seven per cent of the Free State population in 1926. According to the census of that year there were around 165,000 ‘Protestant Episcopalians’, 32,000 Presbyterians, 11,000 Methodists, 4,000 Jews and a further 10,000 classified as ‘other’. Quakers were particularly prominent in business, but were not enumerated separately. Adjusting for likely changes since the 1911 census, there are likely to have been around 1,000 in the Free State at the time. The minority was strongly overrepresented in the higher echelons of all business activities, including agriculture. Twenty eight per cent of farm holdings of more than 200 acres were in Protestant hands. Across most industrial sectors 30 to 40 per cent of male ‘employers and managers’ were Protestant, with around 20 per cent in construction and related activities. Creameries, by then largely under the control of the co-operatives, were the exception: here non-Catholics made up only 4 per cent of the senior ranks. Recruitment and promotion in the railway companies had long been a matter of controversy: the census revealed that more than 20 per cent of stationmasters and railway officials were Protestant. A similarly privileged position is apparent across the rest of the private sector. Non- Catholics comprised fifty-three per cent of bank officials, almost forty per cent of barristers and solicitors and twenty per cent of department store owners and managers. If this represented evident bias, one common Protestant response was to point to differences in educational attainment.

  • Business Establishment Opposition to Southern Ireland's Exit from The
    Business Establishment Opposition to Southern Ireland’s Exit from the United Kingdom FRANK BARRY After more than a century of political and economic integration, Southern Ireland exited the United Kingdom in 1922. By identifying the leading business firms of the era and the political and religious allegiances of their owners, this paper explores the perspective of the Southern Irish business establishment on the issues involved. While the mass of the population was Catholic and by 1918 favored secession, the business elite is shown to have been predominantly Protestant and strongly supportive of continued integration. Business elite perceptions of the consequences of exiting the United Kingdom are explored, and post-independence economic and business developments assessed in light of the concerns expressed at the time. The paper also charts the post-independence fate of the lead- ing former unionist firms and the erosion and eventual disappear- ance of the sectarian divisions then prevalent in Irish business life. Keywords: Nationalism; Economic disintegration; Ireland; Europe 20th Introduction Southern Ireland exited the United Kingdom with the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.

  • De Meest Bekende Afkorting Van Maastricht, V&D 100 Jaar
    De meest bekende afkorting van Maastricht: V&D 100 jaar In 1957 viert V&D zijn vijftigjarig jubileum. Ter gelegenheid hiervan verscheen er een gedenkboekje dat de moeite waard is om 50 jaar na dato nog eens te raadplegen alvorens de grote veranderingen onder de loep te nemen die ook V&D in de loop van de volgende halve eeuw heeft ondergaan. We schrijven de datum 19 november 1906, de dag waarop in het notariskantoor van Mr. Van de Gracht te Amsterdam de akte tot oprichting van de naamloze vennootschap ‘gepasseerd’ werd: “W.H. Vroom, koopman, wonende te Amsterdam. A.K.R. Dreesmann, koopman, wonende te Bussum. B.H. Vroom, koopman, wonende te Amsterdam, handelende bij deze ingevolge onderhandse akte van volmacht, den tweede november dezes jaar te Rotterdam getekend, die na den lasthebber in tegenwoordigheid van mij notaris en de getuigen voor echt erkend en ten blijke daarvan door alle getekend te zijn, aan deze akte is gehecht als lasthebber van de Heer J.B.A.R. Rosenmöller, koopman, wonende te Rotterdam”. Van de 17 artikelen die de duur, naam, zetel en werkkring van de vennootschap regelen is artikel 2 wel het belangrijkste: “De vennootschap draagt den naam van Maastrichtse Manufacturenhandel van Vroom & Dreesmann, is gevestigd te Maastricht en heeft ten doel den handel in manufacturen en aanverwante artikelen”. Het is aardig, aan de hand van een oud adresboek te kijken, hoe bescheiden V&D in de eerste jaren nog tussen zijn buren zat. Op de hoek van de Vijfharingstraat was de herenmodezaak Jungschläger gevestigd. Deze stond later de helft van het pand af voor de sigarenzaak ‘Cardoza’, later Kemmerling.

Preface This master’s thesis is about the future development of the Dutch upscale department store, de Bijenkorf in terms of real estate management plan. Upscale department stores build its characteristic by having invited selected brands, and have specific target group who have higher purchasing power than average, and now de Bijenkorf is the only upscale department store brand in the Netherlands. To take care of its target customers, it has prepared for the commensurate assortment of brands with various departments for the customers’ tastes. As we realize that the department store itself has an image of an old fashioned retail format comparing to other newly developed retail formats, it may look decreasing retail business in these days. However, it still shows that the big retailer in the city center needs to be prepared more properly by predicting the future demands of the cities not only for their business profitability but also for the city’s image or branding. They need to keep this business and prepare more properly for the future.
