• Today in History - 1877

    From Dave Drum@1:2320/105 to All on Tue Sep 19 12:30:00 2023
    20 September 1877 - CHASE NATIONAL BANK OPENS IN NYC (LATER MERGES INTO
    CHASE MANHATTAN): The Chase National Bank was organized September 12,
    1877, by John Thompson (1802 - 91), who named the bank in honour of the
    late U.S. Treasury secretary Salmon P. Chase. It opened for business on September 20, 1877 (Thompson had earlier helped found the First National
    Bank, a predecessor of Citibank and, later, CitiGroup.) Chase National's
    growth was phenomenal, and by 1921 it had become the second largest
    national bank in the United States, without benefit of mergers. Then
    there followed a long series of mergers: Metropolitan National Bank
    (1921), Mechanics and Metals National Bank (1926), Mutual Bank (1927),
    Garfield National Bank (1929), National Park Bank (1929), Equitable
    Trust Company, including Seaboard National Bank (1929), and Interstate
    Trust Company (1930). Such mergers resulted in a proliferation of
    branches and extensive foreign affiliations.

    On March 31, 1955, Chase National Bank (then the nation's 3rd largest
    bank) and the Bank of the Manhattan Company (the 15th largest) merged to
    form The Chase Manhattan Bank. Its reorganization as the Chase Manhattan Corporation in 1969 reflected a general movement in American banking to establish holding companies to own banking operations that were separate
    from other operations such as finance companies, which were by law
    excluded from the purview of banking.

    Title: Banker's Delight Shrimp Rolls
    Categories: Seafood, Citrus, Sauces, Marinades
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 1/4 lb Medium shrimp; peeled,
    - deveined

    MMMMM--------------------MARINADE-----------------------------------
    1/4 c Olive oil
    1 tb Minced garlic
    1 tb lemon juice
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/4 ts Ground black pepper

    MMMMM-------------------MAYONNAISE----------------------------------
    3/4 c Mayo

    1/2 c Grape tomatoes; quartered

    MMMMM-------------------SANDWICHES----------------------------------
    1 lb Loaf soft French bread
    4 tb Unsalted butter; melted
    : Shredded lettuce

    This wallet-friendly spin on the classic New England
    lobster roll increases the flavor with herbed mayo and
    toasted baguette slices, but lowers the price by using
    large shrimp instead of pricey lobster.

    Preheat grill to medium-high.

    Combine oil, garlic, 1 Tbps. lemon juice, salt & pepper
    for the marinade in a bowl. Add shrimp and marinate 5-10
    minutes.

    Pulse mayonnaise, cucumber, parsley, chives, tarragon, 2
    tsp lemon juice, sugar, and salt for the mayonnaise
    together in a food processor until cucumber is finely
    chopped. Set aside 1/3 cup of the mayonnaise mixture.

    Grill shrimp until cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side.
    Coarsely chop shrimp, then stir into remaining mayo,
    along with tomatoes.

    Slice bread into rolls, brush outsides with butter, and
    grill on both sides until lightly toasted. Spread insides
    with some reserved mayonnaise; fill each with lettuce and
    1/4 of shrimp mixture.

    Makes: 4 sandwiches
