What The Standard says about HARRODS’ SAFE DEPOSIT
“It is satisfactory to note that the steps taken by the well-known West End establishment, Harrods, to meet this requirement in their section of the metropolis has met with well-merited success. ‘It is difficult to estimate the amount of wealth in our keeping,’ said the manager of their Safe Deposit Department. ‘The depositors do not always take us into their confidence, but we learn something occasionally through the inquiries of the insurance companies. During the trouble in Portugal we had a dress-box brought here which was filled with gold plate. Now and again a depositor will display the contents of a chest. During the Coronation festivities this happened in the case of the sister of the Khedive of Egypt, who showed me and allowed me to handle some of the finest pearls in the world, amongst which were specimens as large as pigeons’ eggs. She showed me, amongst other things, the black pearls presented to her by the late King Edward on his return from India. Again, just before the Russo-Japanese war Prince David Beboutoff, when negotiating a loan in this country, deposited here share certificates worth close on a million of money. This was only one deposit out of thousands which take place every year. We have had the title deeds, securities, and other property lodged here of fifty people who have died and whose property has been valued for probate at upwards of £5,000,000.’”
