It’s always interesting looking in drawers, leafing through old documents and having a trip down memory lane.

And this is exactly what islander Colin Letto does every time he opens one of his office drawers and finds his grandfather’s Co-op share book, which dates back to 1919.

The name on the share book is Henry Elliott Letto. Henry founded H Letto and Son Ltd Jewellers in Charing Cross in 1913, just a few years before the Jersey Co-operative Society was formed. Henry was member number 277 and his first dividend recorded was 3 shillings and 9 pence.
