"Arthur, let me introduce you," this is the MP and currently the chairman of the Public Works Committee, Mr. Francis Baring."
In a small coffee shop on Oxford Street, Arthur looked at the gentleman in front of him who had a friendly smile and an unexpectedly receding hairline for his young age. He removed his gloves and shook hands with him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Baring. Although this is the first time I am meeting you, I have been using your family's products for many years now," Arthur said.
Baring burst into laughter at Arthur's joke and responded, "It's always a pleasure to be recognized by a customer. I would have been very happy to keep you for dinner unless you came asking for more public debt!"
For the people of 19th century England, Baring was a surname they couldn't avoid from the moment of their birth.
Whether you liked it or not, you would inevitably use products from their family in your lifetime.
