1930s Alex Findlater & Co Messenger Bicycle
1930s Alex Findlater & Co Messenger Bicycle
IE LMOD 279 · Unidad documental simple · Twentieth Century

Black 1930s bicycle with wicker basket. Text 'Alex Findlater and Co. General Grocers Wine and Spirit Merchants, Dublin 1823 - 1969' on side of bike. Small wooden plaque on basket with text 'Alex Findlater & Co Ltd, A.I. Old Irish Whiskey, Trade AI Mark, Dublin, Rathmines, Blackrock, Kingston, Sandymount and Howth'
Alex Findlater and Co. started life in 1823, trading whiskey, wine and beer. The company expanded rapidly, adding general groceries to its alcohol trade, and became a major institution, with branches all over the city. This delivery bicycle was used by the company in the 1930s. (It was also used to launch the first annual Bloomsday Messenger Bike Rally in 1993.) Ultimately, pressure from supermarkets became too much for Findlaters’ more traditional service – as William Findlater had predicted at a 1902 staff meeting: “This brings up the question of packet goods, which is one of the curses of the trade, unless they bear our own brand. If this is encouraged much further it will mean the passing out of the grocer, and he will be replaced by a mere hander-out of packet goods, or, we will have nothing but girls behind our counters, which may be unpleasant to many of the young men present!”

1943 Postcard from George Bernard Shaw
1943 Postcard from George Bernard Shaw
IE LMOD 269 · Unidad documental simple · Twentieth Century

Reply to being asked when he thinks World War 2 will end. Jokes about Adolf Hitler retiring to Vice Royal Lodge, Dublin.
In 1943 the playwright George Bernard Shaw was living in London. Shaw went to school here on St. Stephen’s Green, and never lost his accent, even though he left Dublin at 20. A magazine called The Strand asked a number of writers when they thought the Second World War would end. “Nothing doing,” Shaw writes here, “I never prophesy until I know; and nobody yet knows where those two will end. My best guess is that Adolf will enjoy a dignified retirement in the Vice-Regal Lodge in Dublin, which is presumably to let at present.”
