Philip Sassoon - Wikipedia

The family eventually established a Head Office at 12, Leadenhall Street, London and a company branch in Manchester. The Sassoons became assimilated Jews, dressing, acting and thinking like Englishmen. The Sassoon Brothers, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sa…

David and Albert were friends of the Prince of Wales, built the 'Black Horse' brand. The business came with a baronetcy of Kensington Gore. His father bought Shorncliffe Lodge, where his cousin Mayer Rothschild was the MP. His father was not a successful backbencher, but the

political influences had a profound effect on young Philip. As a collector Philip Sassoon was, like many of the Rothschilds, drawn mainly to the English and French 18th century, but he also collected contemporary artists such as John Singer Sargent and William Orpen.

As Molson and National Breweries continued to go head to head to rule the beer scene in Quebec, a beer industry giant called Canadian Breweries LTD was born in Ontario in 1930. Fun fact: an executive of Canadian Breweries in the 1930s was the father of Conrad Black.
In 1952,

Canadian Breweries bought out National Breweries. So a national brewer, Canadian Breweries, came to own the Black Horse Brand. In time, Canadian Breweries began retiring many of National Breweries’ brands up in Canada, including Black Horse Ale. Black was born in Halifax, Nova

Scotia, the son of Alice Lucy (Ferris) and George Anderson Black.[1] His father was an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company and immigrant from New England. The Black family spent time in Halifax before moving to Winnipeg in 1882.

He worked in real estate and insurance, eventually becoming:[3]
•Partner and President, Robinson & Black (later known as Black & Armstrong)
•President of the Western Dominion Investment Company of Vancouver, British Columbia
•Vice-President of the Manitoba Cold Storage

Company of Winnipeg
•Canadian director of the Phoenix Assurance Company of London
•Director of the Canadian Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Company
•Director of Combustion Engineering Corporation
In 1901, he married Gertrude Maxwell Moffat, and they had two children: a

daughter and a son, George.[3]
In 1924, Black acquired a brewery business that was founded in 1887 by Edward L. Drewry (1851–1940).
