"Dunkirk Evening Observer", 12th June 1935
"The place [Harry's New York Bar] was opened in 1911 by Milton Henry, the American jockey, and passed through various hands - including Tod Sloan's - until Harry McElhone acquired it. A Scotsman, he had worked at the Plaza in Manhattan, at Nice, Deauville, and at Ciro's in London."
Other Sources
"The start of the Harry's tradition goes back to 1923, when a Scott named Harry MacElhone, fresh from a stint as bartender at Ciro's Club in London, took over what was known as the New York Bar in Paris."
