 The Hindu : The house that Parry built
Parry's, officially EID Parry (India) Ltd., from 1976, dates to Thomas Parry's arrival in Madras in 1788 and registered as a Free Merchant.

Parry, who is retiring from the Fed in June and will not attend the next policy-setting meeting in May, said the performance of the U.S. job market remains "far below" where the Fed would expect it to be in a typical economic expansion, even after the jump of 308,000 in non-farm payrolls in March.
