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 were recently discovered and were not included in Rowe's bible of Newfoundland numismatics. Unc, S/N: 1745.
