The Bank of Barcelona in Spain is claimed as the oldest bank, founded in 1401. England’s first bank opened in 1603 by Francis Child, a goldsmith, with many others soon following.

A lesson on tact from history and leadership. The piece cites an Egyptian king and King Edward, illustrating how courteous speech and respectful conduct shape impressions. It notes Edward’s polite bow to a national flag after a mud stained landing during a Mediterranean holiday. It ends with a marvel of logistics: six million customers and 125,000 orders daily for America's largest mail order business.
