1918 James Baird Ltd. 50c. - CH NL 10-10-02 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Baird came to Newfoundland in 1844 from Scotland. He started in the export and drapery business but soon expanded into groceries, wines, spirits and fisheries. Baird survived the 1894 bank failures and in fact bought out several companies. In 1908, Baird's sons assumed control of the business. The scrip have just recently been discovered and were not included in Rowe's bible of Newfoundland numismatics. S/N:1741.
