The Lipton Company is of British origin, with Thomas J. Lipton opening his first shop in 1876. Thomas Lipton enters the tea business to assure supplies of tea at low cost for his 300 grocery shops in 1890. He registers a new trademark for the tea he has been selling since 1890, in 1893. For the history of the company and tea see: http://www.hub-uk.com/interesting/teahistory.htm http://hjem.get2net.dk/bnielsen/teachronology.html However, over the course of the company history, American companies were purchased. See: http://www.gelita.com/kind and knox/history.htm Lipton was Scottish. Mar 12 02, 3:09 PM

Is Lipton (as in tea) of British or American origin? What is the origin of the American Pledge of Allegiance? What is the origin of the word "quid" for a British pound, and what is the origin of the word "buck" for an American dollar? Well, me old china plates, cobbers, friends and comrades, can anyone of you tell me the origin of the word "buddy" in American speech and writing? During the American Civil War northerners who supported the south were called "copperheads." What is the origin of this name? (And it wasn't because other northerners thought they were snakes.)
