Puffer & Sons (Boston Massachusets), John Matthews (New York city, New york), and Charles Lippincott (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) to form the American Soda fountain Co.
Aestheticism was a movement for reform and the project to infiltrate beauty into everyday life was still very much alive in the Festival of Britain of 1951 when Atlee\'s Labour government made a brave attempt to bring art to the people on a giant scale. The quest for beauty inherent in the young Terence Conran\'s offer to bring good design to the high street will be clear to those of us who remember habitat in its earlier, purer incarnation.
