Lack Brothers
Lack Brothers was a department store based in Thornton Heath in Croydon, England. History Lack Brothers was started by William & Thomas Lack in Walthamstow, England in 1898, as a drapery business, with the Lack family, originally from Mitcham being involved with the linen business since the early 18th Century. The business grew with the opening of a new store in Thornton Heath High Street in 1906. The new store boasted a restaurant, a ladies hairdressers, millinery department and an amusement arcade, with early pin ball machines, in the basement. By 1927 the business had been incorporated and had expanded into neighbouring properties. It now occupied 115-123 High Street, Thornton Heath. During the early 1930s the business boomed, with elaborate decorations for George V Jubilee, and for the coronation of George V1 in 1937. The store had a Lamson air tube system for cash transference. https://pneumatic.tube/the-lamson-pneumatic-tube-system-at-jacksons-of-reading-uk However ...

Lacks Advert 1930
Henrietta Lacks (born Loretta Pleasant; August 1, 1920 – October 4, 1951) Note: Some sources report her birthday as August 2, 1920, vs. August 1, 1920. was an African-American woman whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized cell line, immortalized human cell line and one of the most important cell lines in medical research. An immortalized cell line reproduces indefinitely under specific conditions, and the HeLa cell line continues to be a source of invaluable medical data to the present day. Lacks was the unwitting source of these cells from a tumor biopsy, biopsied during treatment for cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., in 1951. These cells were then microbiological culture, cultured by George Otto Gey, who created the cell line known as HeLa, which is still used for medical research. As was then the practice, no consent was required to culture the cells obtained from Lacks's treatment. ...
