Duke Sons \u0026amp; Company entered into the cigarette business, James Bonsack invented a cigarette-rolling machine. It produced over 200 cigarettes per minute, the equivalent of what a skilled hand roller could produce in one hour, and reduced the cost of rolling cigarettes by 50%. It cut each cigarette with precision, creating uniformity in the cigarettes it rolled. Public stigma was attached to this machine-rolled uniformity, and Allen \u0026amp; Ginter rejected the machine almost immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuke set a deal with the Bonsack Machine Company in 1884. Duke agreed to produce all cigarettes with his two rented Bonsack machines and in return, Bonsack reduced Duke’s royalties from $0.30 per thousand to $0.20 per thousand. Duke also hired one of Bonsack’s mechanics, resulting in fewer breakdowns of his machines than his competitors’. This secret contract resulted in a competitive advantage over Duke’s competitors; he was able to lower his prices further than others could.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1880s, while Duke was beginning to machine-roll all his cigarettes, he saw that growth rates in the cigarette industry were declining. His solution was to combine companies and found “one of the first great holding companies in American history.” Duke spent $800,000 on advertising in 1889 and lowered his prices, accepting net profits of less than $400,000, forcing his major competitors to lower their prices and, in 1890, join his consortium by the name of the American Tobacco Company. The five constituent companies of American Tobacco: W. Duke \u0026amp; Sons, Allen \u0026amp; Ginter, W.S. Kimball \u0026amp; Company, Kinney Tobacco, and Goodwin \u0026amp; Company – produced 90% of the cigarettes made in 1890, the first year the American Tobacco Company was listed on the NYSE. Within two decades of its founding, the American Tobacco company absorbed about 250 companies and produced 80% of the cigarettes, plug tobacco, smoking tobacco, and snuff produced in the United States. With Duke’s innovation, American Tobacco grew its equity from $25,000,000 to $316,000,000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Tobacco Trust\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Tobacco Company quickly became known as the “Tobacco Trust” upon its founding. Duke controlled the cigarette market, and his trust caught the attention of legislators in the United States, a country with historical aversion to monopolies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Tobacco Company focused solely on making and selling cigarettes, leaving growing of tobacco and retail distribution to independent entrepreneurs. Nonetheless, Duke aimed to eliminate inefficiencies and middlemen through vertical consolidation. The American Tobacco Company began to expand to Great Britain, China, and Japan. The company also maintained an interest in producing other tobacco products in case fads shifted; Duke wanted to be sure that he would be prepared with a multitude of tobacco styles. The Tobacco Trust’s international expansion in conjunction with its consolidation of all types of tobacco “ultimately made the Trust so vulnerable to regulation and judicial dissolution”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890, and in 1907, the American Tobacco Company was indicted in violation of it. In 1908, when the Department of Justice filed suit against the company, 65 companies and 29 individuals were named in the suit. The Supreme Court ordered the company to dissolve in 1911 on the same day that it ordered the Standard Oil Trust to dissolve. The ruling in United States v. American Tobacco Co. stated that the combination of the tobacco companies “in and of itself, as well as each and all of the elements composing it whether corporate or individual, whether considered collectively or separately [was] in restraint of trade and an attempt to monopolize, and a monopolization within the first and second sections of the Anti-Trust Act.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDissolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDissolution proved complicated. The American Tobacco Company had combined many prior companies and processes. One department would manage a certain process for the entire organization, producing brands previously owned by other companies. “Plants had been assigned specific products without regard for previous ownership.” Over the course of eight months, a plan for the dissolution, meant to assure competition among the new companies, was negotiated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe trust needed to dissolve in such a way that no manufacturer had a monopoly on any type of tobacco product. Investors, holding millions of dollars of securities, also needed to be considered. A large question was how to distribute trademarks and brands between the resulting companies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe American Tobacco Company’s assets were split off into: American Tobacco Company, the existing R. J. Reynolds, Liggett \u0026amp; Myers and Lorillard. The monopoly became an oligopoly. The main result of the dissolution of American Tobacco Trust and the creation of these companies was an increase in advertising and promotion in the industry as a form of competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiggett \u0026amp; Myers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiggett \u0026amp; Myers kept control of these plants: Liggett and Myers, St. Louis; Spaulding and Merrick, Chicago; Allen and Ginter, Richmond; smoking tobacco factory in Chicago; Nall and Williams, Louisville; John Bollman Company, San Francisco; Pinkerton Company, Toledo; W.

The tractor was built to what was referred to by tractor engineers as automobile design, and it was driven by a worm shaft and worm wheel through a sliding gear selective type transmission gear set having three forward speed ratios and reverse. The power was stated to be sufficient to draw three 14-inch bottom plows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company also marketed Dart trucks under the name of Maxim-Dart for export trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaxim Munitions was originally formed with the intention of making a new machine gun designed by Hudson Maxim at a plant in New Haven, Connecticut and ammunition at a building purchased from the Secor Typewriter Company in Derby, Connecticut.

One year later Franklin Manufacturing Company changed its name to American Manufacturing Company. A wire rope clamp designed to loop wire cable without the losing the integrity of the wire was invented by Oliver Crosby in 1886. American Manufacturing Company invented further enhancements to the construction industry by establishing steam powered hoists in 1889 and the largest electric hoists up to 15 hp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1892, American Manufacturing Company became known as American Hoist \u0026amp; Derrick for 106 years. The first mobile crane was invented in 1895 called the Traveling Derrick. It consisted of a revolving derrick and steam hoist mounted on a rail-car like wheels. The ditcher, flatcar mounted crane designed to scoop out dirt on either side of the railroad, was invented by Oliver Crosby in 1904. The first crawler was established in 1923 and made cranes mobile. The company became international when the Yokohama Warehouse was constructed in 1905. Major construction projects such as the Panama Canal and Mount Rushmore used cranes from American Hoist \u0026amp; Derrick. American Hoist \u0026amp; Derrick reached 467 on the Fortune 500 list with a total revenue of $464.2 million.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985 American Hoist \u0026amp; Derrick changed its name to Amdura and in that same year a group of investors purchased the business.

The Similkameen Valley Gold Rush was on and hundreds rushed to Camp Hedley for work and with hopes of gold. One of the first projects to get under way was the need for a steady water supply; preliminary surveys of Twenty Mile creek for a water flume and tramline began. Clearing the right of way, bringing in milled timber that was hauled in by horse teams, and then carrying to where it was built into trestles for the flume took a lot of brawn and inventiveness. Finally, in 1904, six years after Wollaston and Arundel's lucky discovery, the mill and its infrastructure now in place, the Daly Reduction Company began full operation and the muffled roar of the machinery became a familiar sound in Hedley 24 hours a day for most of the next 50 years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 1907 Camp Hedley had become the most important mining operation in the Similkameen district with the Nickel Plate mine one of the largest producers in Canada. At the work site good ore continued to be located and approximately 42,000 tons per year were going to the mill. At the mill, gold was being recovered three ways: First there was the free gold that was taken directly off the bars of the large stamps that were used to crush the ore. In addition, gold was recovered from a cyanide bath process; each month a gold brick was produced from these two processes and shipped under special escort to Penticton British Columbia. Finally, the heavy concentrate from another part of the operation, after some initial drying, was being shipped in 100 pound sacks to the smelter in Tacoma, Washington for further refining. Eventually the upward mining activity broke through to the surface. Additional work produced a huge glory hole (open pit). Once the ore around this glory hole was exhausted another adit was driven, in 1908, at the 5600 foot level. This adit encountered very little ore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThinking that the ore was exhausted, the Daly Reduction Company sold the operation to the Hedley Gold Mining Company in 1909. The new company, which was backed and promoted by United States Steel, located ore that the previous group had missed, and for the next quarter of a century the mine did extremely well. Production was increased to over 75,000 tons per year, recovery procedures at the mill were improved, and dividends in 1912 reached 30%. With increased production came the need for more power. In 1911, in order to provide additional water for the steam plant, the only source of power generation, a 7000 foot long ditch was constructed to convey the water from the melting snow on local mountains to Strayhorse (Nickel Plate) Lake which empties into Twenty Mile Creek. More power was needed and in 1915 a 2000 horsepower dam was completed on the Similkameen River just below the outlet of Twenty Mile Creek.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, this power plant would sometimes be forced to shut down because of ice on the river. In 1920 and again in 1925 the entire mill had to be closed for the winter due to shortage of water and the resulting lack of power. For the first time since the mine started the future looked bleak when in 1929 new ore could not be located. Over 20 miles of diamond drilling had had been done, but nothing looked promising. For the 75 men underground and the 25 on the surface the end seemed near. To make matters worse the company had not been able to purchase the tiny Mascot fraction from Duncan Woods, the stubborn owner of the Mascot Fraction. After 27 years of operation, the Hedley Gold Mining Company shut down and offered to sell the entire operation for only $65,000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/mining\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMining.png?v=1664122317\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/gold-mining\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconGoldMining.png?v=1666895079\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/canada-mining-companies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconCanadaMiningCompanies.png?v=1667339811\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/united-states-steel\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconUnitedStatesSteel.png?v=1663955193\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/tacoma-washington\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconTacomaWashington.png?v=1667340096\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/washington\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconWashington.png?v=1663884046\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/canada\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconCanada.png?v=1667339819\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15540262600768,"sku":"7135","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/7135.png?v=1751903886"},{"product_id":"columbia-broadcasting-system-inc-cbs","title":"Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc.

Established by New York City talent agent Arthur Judson, United soon looked for additional investors; the Columbia Phonographic Manufacturing Company (also owners of Columbia Records), rescued the company in April 1927, and as a result, the network was renamed Columbia Phonographic Broadcasting System. Columbia Phonographic went on the air on September 18, 1927, from flagship station WOR in Newark, New Jersey, and 15 affiliates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnable to sell enough air time to advertisers, on September 25, 1927, Columbia sold the network for $500,000 to William S. Paley, son of a Philadelphia cigar manufacturer. With Columbia Phonographic's removal, Paley streamlined the corporate name to Columbia Broadcasting System. Paley believed in the power of radio advertising; his family's company had seen their La Palina cigar become a best-seller after young William convinced his elders to advertise it on Philadelphia radio station WCAU.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November of 1927, Columbia paid $390,000 to A. H. Grebe's Atlantic Broadcasting Company for a small Brooklyn station, WABC, which would become the network's flagship station. WABC was quickly upgraded, and the signal relocated to a stronger frequency, 860 kHz. In 1946 WABC was re-named WCBS; the station moved to a new frequency, 880 kHz, in the Federal Communications Commission's 1941 re-assignment of stations. As the network's flagship, WCBS was where much of CBS's programming originated; other owned-and-operated stations were KNX Los Angeles, KCBS San Francisco, WBBM Chicago, WJSV Washington, DC (later WTOP), KMOX St. Louis, and WCCO Minneapolis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLater in 1928, another investor, Paramount Pictures Corporation (who ironically would eventually be co-owned with CBS), bought shares in Columbia stock, and for a time it was thought the network would be re-named Paramount Radio. Any chance of further Paramount involvement ended with the Stock Market Crash of 1929; the near-bankrupt studio sold its shares back to CBS in 1932.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the third national network, CBS soon had more affiliates than either of NBC's two, in part because of a more generous rate of payment to affiliates. NBC's owner and founder of RCA, David Sarnoff, believed in technology, so NBC's affiliates had the latest RCA equipment, and were often the best-established stations, or were on \"clear channel\" frequencies. But Paley believed in the power of programming, and CBS quickly established itself as the home of many popular musical and comedy stars, among them Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, George Burns, and Gracie Allen. In 1938, NBC and the Columbia Broadcasting System each opened studios in Hollywood to attract top talent to their networks—NBC at Radio City on Sunset and Vine, CBS two blocks away at Columbia Square.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the hard times of the early 1930s, CBS radio broadened its offerings; having refused an Associated Press (AP) franchise for news, Paley launched an independent news division, shaped in its first years by Paley's vice-president, former \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e man Ed Klauber, and news director Paul White. Another early hire, in 1935, was Edward R. Murrow, brought in as \"Director of Talks.\" It was Murrow's reports, particularly during the dark days of the London Blitz, which contributed to CBS News's image for on-the-spot coverage. As European news chief and later head of the news division, Murrow assembled a team of reporters and editors that propelled CBS News to the forefront of the industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs long as radio was the dominant advertising medium, CBS dominated broadcasting. All through the 1930s and 1940s, CBS programs were often the highest-rated. much-publicized \"talent raid\" on NBC in the mid-1940s brought Jack Benny, Edgar Bergen, and the Amos 'n' Andy show into the CBS fold. Paley also was an innovator in creating original programming; since broadcasting's earliest days, time had been sold to advertising agencies in half- or full-hour blocks. The agencies, not the networks, would then create the program to fill the time, thus it was \"The Johnson's Wax Program, with Fibber McGee \u0026amp; Molly,\" or \"The Pepsodent Show, with Bob Hope.\" At Paley's urging, beginning in the mid-1940s, CBS began creating its own programs; among the long-running shows that came from this project were You Are There (born as CBS Was There), My Favorite Husband (starring Lucille Ball; the show proved a kind of blueprint for her big CBS television hit I Love Lucy), Our Miss Brooks (whose star, Eve Arden, was encouraged personally by Paley to try out for the title role), Gunsmoke and the Adventures of Ozzie \u0026amp; Harriet. In time this idea was carried further, selling ad time by the minute, so that the agencies no longer had complete control over what went out over Mr. Paley's air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCBS was slow to move into television; as late as 1950 it owned only one station; radio continued to be the backbone of the company. But gradually, as the television network took shape, the big radio stars began to drift to television. The radio soap opera The Guiding Light became the first television soap when it began to air on CBS in 1950. Burns \u0026amp; Allen made the move in 1950; Lucille Ball a year later; Our Miss Brooks in 1952 (though it continued simultaneously on radio for its full television life). The high-rated Jack Benny radio show ended in 1955, and Edgar Bergen's Sunday-night show went off the air in 1957. But when CBS announced in 1956 that its radio operations had lost money, while the television network had made money, it was clear where the future lay. The last of CBS's daytime serials went off the air November 25, 1960, and prime-time radio ended on September 30, 1962 when a CBS offering, the legendary Suspense. aired for the final time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the retirement of talk-show pioneer Arthur Godfrey in 1972, CBS radio programming consisted of hourly news broadcasts, occasional news features, and commentaries, and the nightly CBS Mystery Theater, the lone holdout of old-style programming. The CBS Radio Network continues to this day, but offers primarily newscasts and news-related features.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first CBS television broadcasts were experimental, often only for one hour a day, and reaching a limited area in and around New York City (over station W2XAB channel 2, later called WCBW and finally WCBS-TV). To catch up with rival RCA, CBS bought Hytron Laboratories in 1939, and immediately moved into set production and color broadcasting. Though there were many competing patents and systems, RCA dictated the content of the FCC's technical standards, and stole the spotlight from CBS, DuMont, and others by introducing television to the general public at the 1939 New York World's Fair. The FCC began licensing commercial television stations on July 1, 1941; the first license went to RCA and NBC's WNBT (now WNBC); the second license, issued that same day, was to WCBW, (now WCBS). CBS-Hytron offered a practical color system in 1941, but it was not compatible with the black-and-white standards set down by RCA. In time, the FCC rejected CBS's technology in favor of that backed by RCA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring World War II years, commercial television broadcasting was reduced dramatically. Toward the end of the war, the level of programming increased again, evident in the 1945-1947 period on the three New York television stations which operated in those years (the local stations of NBC, CBS and DuMont). But as RCA and DuMont raced to establish networks and offer upgraded programming, CBS lagged, advocating an industry-wide shift and re-start to UHF for their incompatible (with black and white) color system. Only in 1950, when NBC was dominant in television and black and white transmission was widespread, did CBS begin to buy or build their own stations (outside of New York) in Los Angeles, Chicago, and other major cities. Up to that point, CBS programming was seen on such stations as KTTV Channel 11 in Los Angeles, in which CBS—as a bit of insurance and to guarantee program clearance in Los Angeles—quickly purchased a 50 percent interest. CBS then sold their interest in KTTV and purchased outright Los Angeles pioneer station KTSL (Channel 2) in 1950, renaming it KNXT (after sister CBS radio station KNX), later to become KCBS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"talent raid\" on NBC of the mid-1940s had brought over established radio stars; they now became stars of CBS television as well. One reluctant CBS star refused to bring her radio show, My Favorite Husband, to television unless the network would re-cast the show with her real-life husband in the lead. Paley and network president Frank Stanton had so little faith in the future of Lucille Ball's series, re-dubbed I Love Lucy, that they granted her wish and allowed the husband, Desi Arnaz, to take financial control of the production. This was the making of the Ball-Arnaz Desilu empire, and became the template for series production to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1940s, CBS offered imaginative and historic live television coverage of the proceedings of the United Nations General Assembly 1949. This journalist tour-de-force was under the direction of Edmund A. Chester, who was appointed to the post of director for news, special events, and sports at CBS Television in 1948. The broadcast clearly underscored CBS's long term commitment to excellence in broadcast journalism in the post-World War II era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs television came to the forefront of American entertainment and information, CBS dominated television as it once had radio. By the late 1950s, the network often controlled seven or eight of the slots on the \"top ten\" ratings list. This would continue for many years, with CBS bumped from first place only by the rise of American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the mid-1970s. Perhaps because of its status as the top-rated network, during the late 1960s, and early 1970s CBS felt freer to gamble with controversial properties like the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and All in the Family, and its many spinoffs during this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Paley was a buyer of art, and a backer of New York's Museum of Modern Art. CBS offices were filled with original works. Paley shared this interest with Frank Stanton, CBS President (1946-1971), who carried this belief over into the design elements surrounding the network. When CBS bought Los Angeles station KNX in 1936 for a west-coast production headquarters, Frank Stanton demanded that architect William Lescaze be hired to create Columbia Square, a distinctive, modern broadcasting center on Sunset Boulevard. Similarly, when CBS commissioned Eero Saarinen to design a new corporate center in New York in the 1960s, Stanton supervised every aspect of the project, even dictating what could be displayed in employee offices and on desktops. This belief in art, graphics, and branding carried over to such things as the CBS Television's logo, the unblinking eye logo (designed by William Golden and introduced in 1951). An example of CBS's graphic-design particularity: on all official CBS letterhead, a tiny dot (at most a point in diameter) was pre-printed to indicate to a secretary where the typewriter carriage should be positioned for the salutation of a letter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough CBS-TV was the first with a working color television system, it lost out to RCA in 1953, due in part because the CBS color system was incompatible with existing black-and-white sets. By the early 1960s, CBS-TV was void of transmitting anything in color—save for a few specials and only if the sponsor would pay for it. Color was being pushed hard by rival NBC. Even ABC-TV had several color programs in 1962, where CBS-TV had none. One famous CBS-TV special made during this era was the tour of the White House with First Lady Jackie Kennedy, whose always colorful outfits came off looking drab in CBS' grayscale. This would all change by the mid-1960s, when market pressure forced CBS-TV to add color programs to the schedule. By 1966, all of CBS's TV programs were being shown in color, as they were on NBC and ABC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the 1960s, CBS began an effort to diversify, and looked for suitable investments. In 1965, it acquired electric guitar maker Fender from Leo Fender, who agreed to sell his company due to health problems. Forming the CBS Musical Instruments division, the company also acquired Steinway pianos, Gemeinhardt flutes, Lyon \u0026amp; Healy harps, Rodgers (institutional) organs, Gulbransen home organs, Electro-Music Inc. (Leslie speakers), and Rogers drums. The last musical purchase was the 1981 acquisition of Arp Instruments, developer of electronic synthesizers. Between 1965 and 1985 the quality of Fender guitars and amplifiers declined significantly. Encouraged by outraged Fender fans, CBS Musical Instruments division executives executed a leveraged buyout in 1985 and created FMIC, the Fender Musical Instrument Corporation. At the same time, CBS divested itself of Rodgers, along with Steinway and Gemeinhardt, all of which were purchased by Steinway Musical Properties. The other musical instruments properties were also liquidated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn other diversification attempts, CBS would buy (and later sell) sports teams (most notably the New York Yankees), book and magazine publishers (Fawcett Publications including Woman's Day, and Holt, Rinehart \u0026amp; Winston), map-makers, toy manufacturers, and other properties. It made a brief, unsuccessful move into film production in the late 1960s, creating Cinema Center Films; this profitless unit was shut down in 1972; today the distribution rights to the Cinema Center library rest with Paramount Pictures for home and theatrical release, and with CBS Paramount Television for TV distribution (most other ancillary rights remain with CBS). Yet ten years later, CBS was talked into another try at Hollywood, in a joint venture with Columbia Pictures and HBO called Tri-Star Pictures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCBS entered the video game market briefly, through its acquisition of Gabriel Toys, publishing several arcade adaptations and original titles for various consoles and computers. (CBS later sold Gabriel Toys.) CBS also entered into the home video market, and joined with MGM to form MGM\/CBS Home Video in 1978; the joint venture was broken by 1983, and CBS joined another studio: 20th Century Fox, to form CBS-Fox Video. CBS' duty was to release some of the movies by Tri-Star under the CBS-FOX Home Video label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs William Paley aged, he tried to find the one person who could follow in his footsteps. Over the years any number of accomplished, successful businessmen were recruited, loudly praised to the press, only later to be summarily dismissed. By the mid-1980s, the investor Laurence Tisch had begun to acquire substantial holdings in CBS; eventually he gained Paley's confidence, and then his blessing, taking control of CBS in 1986. But Tisch had no dreams of quality or of \"Tiffany\" networks; he expected a return on his investment. When CBS faltered, under-performing units were eliminated. Among the first properties to go, and among the most prestigious, was the CBS Records group, which (as Columbia Records in the US and Canada) had been part of the company since 1938. Sold to Sony in 1988, the company which had given the network its name was re-christened \"Sony Music\" in 1991, and eventually Sony BMG Music Entertainment when merged with BMG in 2004. (Sony purchased from EMI its rights to the Columbia Records name outside the US, Canada and Japan; Sony BMG now uses Columbia Records as a label name in all countries except Japan.) Tisch also shut down in 1986 the CBS Technology Center in Stamford, Connecticut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCBS unveiled its Eye Device logo on October 17, 1951. Prior to that, from the 1940s through 1951, CBS Television used an oval spotlight on the block letters C-B-S as its logo. The Eye device was designed by William Golden based on a Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign as well as a Shaker drawing. First drawn by graphic artist Kurt Weiss, it made its broadcasting debut on October 20, 1951. The following season, as Golden prepared a new logo, CBS President Frank Stanton insisted on keeping the Eye device and using it as much as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CBS eye is now an American icon. While the symbol's settings have changed, the Eye device itself has not been redesigned in its entire history. It has frequently been copied or borrowed by television networks around the world, a notable example being Associated TeleVision in the United Kingdom. The logo is alternately known as the \"Eyemark,\" which was also the name of CBS' domestic and international syndication divisions in the mid to late 1990s before the King World acquisition and Viacom merger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca

company. Charles Anson Bond, whose name was chosen for its market value and meaning left Cleveland for Columbus, Ohio where he opened a branch of the company. Bond stepped away from active management when he was elected Mayor of Columbus in 1907.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first store featured fifteen-dollar men's suits. As president Slater built the concern into a million-dollar corporation, increasing the number of employees from fifty to more than 4,000. At his retirement in 1924, the concern had twenty-eight stores in large cities. Charles Anson Bond also sold his interests in the 1920s. Bond Stores, Inc. was organized in Maryland on March 19, 1937, by the consolidation of Bond Clothing Company, a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiary, Bond Stores, Inc. The principal executive offices of the corporation were located at 261 Fifth Avenue in New York City.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the 1930s and 1940s, it became the largest retail chain of men's clothing in the United States, best known for selling two-pant suits. In 1975, the company was sold to foreign investors, then broken up and sold in smaller groups to its management. For instance, 13 stores were operated by the Proud Wind, Inc. company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween 1948 and 1954, Bond Clothes operated a massive sign on the east side block of Broadway between 44th and 45th streets in New York's Times Square. The sign had nearly 2 miles of neon and included two 7-story-tall nude figures, a man and a woman, as bookends. Between the nude figures, there was a 27-foot-high and 132-foot-wide waterfall with 50,000 gallons of recirculated water. Beneath the waterfall was a 278-foot-long zipper sign with scrolling messages. The Bond zipper was made up of more than 20,000 light bulbs. Above the waterfall was a digital clock with the wording \"Every Hour 3,490 People Buy at Bond.\" Some of the sign remained in place to advertise the Bond Stores location until the store's closure in 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: centert;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/retail-mail-order\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRetailMailOrder.png?v=1663930519\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRetailMailOrder.png?v=1663930519\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/specialty-stores\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"114\" width=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconSpecialtyRetail.png?v=1663945814\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconSpecialtyRetail.png?v=1663945814\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/cleveland-ohio\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconClevelandOhio.png?v=1664714414\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconClevelandOhio.png?v=1664714414\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/columbus-ohio\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconColumbusOhio.png?v=1664714440\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconColumbusOhio.png?v=1664714440\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/ohio\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconOhio.png?v=1663870118\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconOhio.png?v=1663870118\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/maryland\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"114\" width=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMaryland.png?v=1664365791\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMaryland.png?v=1664365791\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/manhattan-new-york\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"115\" width=\"122\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconManhattanNewYork.png?v=1663786575\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconManhattanNewYork.png?v=1663786575\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"114\" width=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewYork.png?v=1663786614\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewYork.png?v=1663786614\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Red","offer_id":15561737109568,"sku":"2628rd","price":1.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":15555875799104,"sku":"2628bl","price":1.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/products\/2628rd.gif?v=1757363377"},{"product_id":"gulf-states-utilities-company","title":"Gulf States Utilities Company","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/ListingIconImages.png?v=1710277886\" style=\"margin-right: 20px;

Some failed and others were merged into larger units and holding companies, where the pooled resources of the myriad of small operators translated into greater strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1888 one of Gulf State Utilities’ corporate ancestors, Beaumont Ice, Light and Refrigeration Company, did just about everything for the cattle and lumber town of 3,000. The company sold electricity and ice, furnished water, and even ran a meat market. At about the same time in Baton Rouge, local businessmen formed the Baton Rouge Electric Light and Power Company. Like its counterpart in Beaumont Baton Rouge Electric was a diversified business that by the turn of the century had bought several small companies. In 1890, the company changed owners and became the Baton Rouge Electric and Gas Company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA holding company formed during that time, Eastern Texas Electric (under the control of the Boston engineering firm Stone \u0026amp; Webster), eventually led to the creation of GSU. A series of mergers and acquisitions of various ice, water, gas, and transportation properties culminated on August 25, 1925, in the incorporation of a single company - Gulf States Utilities - charged with the task of providing electricity, gas, water, and ice to the public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn general, there were three years in which major acquisitions occurred to form the basis of the GSU service area of today. In 1926, Louisiana Electric Company and Eastern Texas Electric were brought into GSU and with them such properties as Jennings Utilities and Lake Charles Electric Company in Louisiana and the ice, water, and light utilities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Silsbee in Texas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next major expansion brought in Western Public Service in 1929, which included the area in Texas that now makes up the bulk of GSU's pre-merger Western Division, including the cities of Conroe, Navasota, Cleveland, Huntsville, Liberty, and Dayton. The final major expansion occurred in 1938, when the eastern part of the Louisiana service territory was formed by a merger of GSU with its sister companies, the Baton Rouge Electric Company and the Louisiana Steam Generating Corporation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther isolated acquisitions during 1925-1938 added to the fast-growing GSU system, which now served an area that at one time had been served by more than 60 different power companies. Plant and facility investments grew steadily with the increased demand for utility services in a growing geographic area. The petroleum-related industries of the region, spurred by the huge Spindletop oil strike in 1901, created a ready and increasing market for electricity. Firms that depended on the timber, cotton, sugar cane, salt, and sulphur resources of the area also increased the demand for reliable electric service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeches Station near Beaumont was constructed soon after incorporation to serve as a major generation source at one end of the system. Louisiana Station was acquired in the 1938 acquisitions, followed by construction of additional generating plants in load centers of the system: Roy S. Nelson Station near Lake Charles and Willow Glen Station south of Baton Rouge went into service in 1960, Sabine Station near Port Arthur in 1962, Lewis Creek Station near the city of Conroe in 1970, and Nelson Coal near Lake Charles in 1982.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the latter part of the 1970s, GSU entered the age of nuclear power with the start of construction on River Bend Station. GSU's 940 MW boiling water reactor put power into the GSU transmission and distribution system for the first time in December 1985, The unit was declared to be in commercial operation in June 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/gulf-states-utilities-company\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWGulfStatesUtilities_83c8053d-f559-4e1c-8ee2-0d4df7217094.png?v=1697464018\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/utilities\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWUtilities.png?v=1696013604\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/holding-companies\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWHoldingCompanies.png?v=1696688327\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/nuclear-power\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNuclearEnergy.png?v=1696014015\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/texas\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWTexas.png?v=1696509383\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/louisiana\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWLouisiana.png?v=1696509437\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42304591397112,"sku":"2281","price":1.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/2281rd.png?v=1757366989"},{"product_id":"fuhrmann-schmidt-brewing-company","title":"Fuhrmann \u0026 Schmidt Brewing Company","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCompany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFuhrmann \u0026amp;

Eagle Run began operations in 1854. The brewery was operated in primitive fashion by Gottlieb Fritz. Eagle Run is the name of a small stream of water that empties its content into the Shamokin creek. A firm by the name of Markle and Schweibenz is also listed as a one time operator of Eagle Run. Martin Markle, the senior partner of Markle and Schweibenz, on Dec.1st 1871, became the sole operator of Eagle Run. In 1896 P.H. Fuhrmann and Max Schmidt, whose experience in beer business had been extensive, came into posession of the brewery. The maximum output of the plant at the time was 9,000 barrels per year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe proprietors of Eagle Run brewery bought the property of the defunct Shamokin Brewing Company that was located on Harrison Street when it was sold during bankruptcy proceedings. Eagle Run brewery at the height of its glory in 1905 was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt. In 1906 the brewery was incorporated under the name of The Fuhrmann \u0026amp; Schmidt Brewing Company, of which Mr. Fuhrmann was president and moved to the Shamokin brewery site. Fuhrmann and Schmidt produced many different brands. Their own brands included F \u0026amp; S Ale, beer, bock, porter and half and half. The Fuhrmann \u0026amp; Schmidt brewery enjoyed the reputation of having a pure, wholesome product.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn March of 1966, Henrey Ortleib of Philadelphia bought the Fuhrmann and Schmidt brewery. Although ownership was transferred to Henry F. Ortleib, the local firm continued to operate as the F \u0026amp; S brewery under the same management that previously guided the firm. The brewery stopped operations in the early spring of 1976, with hopes of reopening. But a fire gutted a good portion of the building. After this there was no hope of ever reopening. The Fuhrmann \u0026amp; Schmidt brewery of Shamokin is now with Eagle Run, just a piece of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/alcohol-brewery\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWAlcohol.png?v=1696347658\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWAlcohol.png?v=1696347658\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/pennsylvania\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewPennsylvania.png?v=1695911920\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewPennsylvania.png?v=1695911920\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15572795785280,"sku":"2229","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/products\/2229.png?v=1667562778"},{"product_id":"madera-bridge-company","title":"Madera Bridge Company","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicely engraved antique stock certificate from the Madera Bridge Company dating back to the 1800's.

Context\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad was formed in 1907. The Chicago Junction Railway, a New York Central affiliate, had leased the East Chicago Belt Railroad and the Terminal Railroad in 1898, and had bought the Chicago, Hammond \u0026amp; Western Railroad in 1896.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn October of 1907, the ECB's lease was dissolved, and it then acquired the CJ's interest in CH\u0026amp;W and assumed control of the Terminal Railroad as well. The new company was named the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad. Although not a signatory, the New York Central provided the financial backing and quietly orchestrated the entire transaction, reserving trackage rights over all routes of the new railroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShortly after the Harbor was formed, NYC leased to IHB the northernmost seven miles of the Chicago, Indiana \u0026amp; Southern. The CI\u0026amp;S originated at the Indiana Harbor lakefront and ran south through Gibson, where it crossed what is now the IHB main, to the Nickel Plate crossing at Osborn. The segment extending from the lakefront to Highland (crossing of the Erie Railroad) a few miles south of Osborn was leased to the Harbor. The IHB has operated it ever since and is now known as the Kankakee Line. South of Highland, CI\u0026amp;S extended to Danville, Illinois, and ultimately via connection with another NYC property to Cairo at the southern tip of Illinois. Traffic on the Harbor's portion was heavy enough to warrant double-tracking, which exists to this day. The Harbor then expanded its reach into the steel-making area along the lakefront by obtaining trackage rights from the Elgin, Joliet \u0026amp; Eastern and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The EJ\u0026amp;E and the Pennsy in turn were granted rights over IHB, enabling the J to reach Franklin Park and PRR to access the stockyards via the Terminal line. IHB also acquired a branch line across Wolf Lake on the Illinois-Indiana border to PRR's Colehour Yard at the lakefront, and in addition extended the ECB track further east to reach the Cudahy packing plant in East Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA final piece of the Harbor puzzle was the another NYC venture known as the Gary \u0026amp; Western, built around the time US Steel's enormous Gary Works was constructed. It extended east from Ivanhoe on the west side of Gary, Indiana, running through the central part of the city on an elevation. On Gary's east side it turned north toward the steel mill and then headed east again near the lakefront. Here, it connected to a segment of a Chicago, Indiana \u0026amp; Southern line that ran to what is now Burns Harbor, Indiana. Both the G\u0026amp;W and the CI\u0026amp;S route were owned by New York Central, but the Harbor operated them. They served several industries in Gary, and also hauled sand and other bulk commodities from the Burns Harbor area. When CI\u0026amp;S was folded into the New York Central System in 1914, the Harbor leased the G\u0026amp;W\/CI\u0026amp;S route from the Central.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/indiana-harbor-belt-railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWIndianaHarborBeltRR_480x480.png?v=1703110912\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWRailroad.png?v=1697043934\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/indiana-railroads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWIndianaRailroadCompanies.png?v=1699793390\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york-central-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNewYorkCentralRR.png?v=1696098604\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york-chicago-and-st-louis-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNYCSTLRR.png?v=1699792471\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/chicago-indiana-and-southern-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWChicagoIndianaSouthernRR_480x480.png?v=1702918042\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/indiana\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWIndiana.png?v=1697488599\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42364494086392,"sku":"1177","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/1177or.png?v=1702919199"},{"product_id":"jefferson-rail-road-company","title":"Jefferson Rail Road Company","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCompany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eJefferson Rail Road Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCertificate Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCapital Stock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eDate Issued\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eUnissued, circa 1860's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCanceled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003ePrinter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThomas J.

Salt Lake Railway Tunnel), but it was never built. Instead, he built his railroad (the Denver Northwestern \u0026amp; Pacific) over Rollins Pass in 1904, and the company that was intended to build the tunnel never got off the ground (the plan was to have a separately incorporated company build the tunnel and lease it back to the railroad).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoffat's plan was to start construction on the tunnel a year or 2 after he built over Rollins Pass. He gambled that by going over the pass he could get to the coal fields on the western slope and start bringing in revenue that would help pay for the tunnel. Unfortunately, the cost of fighting the snow on Rollins Pass was extremely high. 30 to 40 foot snow drifts were common there in the winter. That cost, plus the fact that he ran out of money short of the coal fields, along with his inability to get eastern investors to back him, thanks to the hated E.H. Harriman, prevented him from ever building the tunnel. Railroads were very competitive at the time, and Harriman, who ran the Union Pacific, which ran through Cheyenne to Salt Lake, was opposed to Moffat going from Denver to Salt Lake. He pulled lots of tricks, like creating dummy power companies that filed for rights to build dams for hydro-electric power. These dams, of course, were in the canyons that Moffat wanted for his railroad. The battle for Gore Canyon went all the way to Teddy Roosevelt. It was one of the few battles Moffat won against Harriman. Moffat died in 1911 while on an east coast, fundraising for his railroad. The line had only been built from Denver to Steamboat Springs and the tunnel was still a dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe railroad went into receivership and was reincorporated as the Denver \u0026amp; Salt Lake Railroad a couple of years later. It struggled for years due to snow fighting on top of the pass. There were a few attempts to get state funding for the tunnel, which failed due to other parts of the state not wanting to help pay for it. It wasn't until a disastrous flood hit Pueblo, and some creative politicians combined funding for the tunnel with relief for Pueblo, that funding was finally approved and construction of the current 6.2 mile tunnel under Rollins Pass was began in 1923 - some 20 years after Moffat first wanted to build his tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRailroad2_480x480.png?v=1695900034\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/colorado-railroads\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWColoradoRailroads_480x480.png?v=1695923185\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/utah-railroads\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWUtahRailroads_480x480.png?v=1695923371\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/union-pacific-railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWUnionPacificRR_480x480.png?v=1695925184\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/bridges-tunnels-turnpikes\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWBridgesTunnelsTurnpikes_480x480.png?v=1695923679\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/salt-lake-city-utah\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWSaltLakeCityUtah_480x480.png?v=1695923998\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/utah\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"139\" width=\"148\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewUtah_480x480.png?v=1695924385\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/denver-colorado\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWDenverColorado_480x480.png?v=1695925006\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/colorado\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWColorado_480x480.png?v=1695924488\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15965281026112,"sku":"922","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/products\/922.png?v=1660671848"},{"product_id":"loews-boston-theatres-inc","title":"Loew's Boston Theatres, Inc.","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 5px;

By the start of World War I, the young chain of theatres had locations throughout the U.S. In order to supply his theatres with new film product, Loew purchased a failing silent movie production studio named Metro Company. In 1924, Loew joined forces with the legendary Louis B. Mayer and Samuel Goldwyn to form the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the supply of film secured and the public’s love for Hollywood entertainment established, Loews Theatres continued to grow from coast to coast throughout the 1930’s and ‘40’s. In 1954, the Department of Justice ruled that theatre circuits such as Loews, Paramount and Warner Brothers, which engaged in film production and distribution as well as the operation of theatres, must divest their studio facilities from their theatre chains. Thus, Loews Theatres and MGM became separate entities, and the theatre circuit continued on its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the years that followed, Loews Theatres expanded and was the genesis of what became the Loews Corporation. In 1985, the Loews Corporation sold its 350 screen circuit to a privately held company. Soon after, the theatre chain was purchased by Tri-Star Pictures which in turn merged with the Entertainment Business Sector of Coca Cola, forming Columbia Pictures Entertainment. It was during this time that Loews Theatres experienced its greatest growth, acquiring four regional theatre circuits and building many new multiplexes, more than doubling in size to almost 1000 screens. In 1989, Coca Cola sold Columbia Pictures Entertainment to the Sony Corporation of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/loews-theatres\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWLoews_480x480.png?v=1709310040\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/entertainment-radio-tv-music-movies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWEntertainment.png?v=1696457251\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/motion-pictures\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"138\" width=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMotionPictures.png?v=1697023031\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/movie-theaters\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMovieTheaters.png?v=1699882190\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/paramount-pictures\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWParamountPictures.png?v=1702239703\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/columbia-pictures\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWColumbiaPictures.png?v=1702241364\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/boston-massachusetts\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWBostonMassachusetts.png?v=1696078881\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/massachusetts\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMassachusetts.png?v=1696078088\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Brown","offer_id":43954027790584,"sku":"1422br","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":43954027823352,"sku":"1422bl","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/1422bl_d93e37ab-ed4e-4ce8-aaa8-fa7ac7c8e0ab.png?v=1771610687"},{"product_id":"swedesboro-rail-road-company","title":"Swedesboro Rail Road Company","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eCompany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eSwedesboro Rail Road Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eCertificate Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eCapital Stock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eDate Issued\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eAugust 26, 1887\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eCanceled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003ePrinter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eG.

In 1781 the Virginia General Assembly established the Appomattox Trustees to promote navigation on the Appomattox River. In 1795, the trustees (including Washington and Madison) formed the Upper Appomattox Company canal operation to secure water rights to the river. The company took over several hydroelectric plants on the river and added a steam power facility in 1888. Frank Jay Gould bought a successor company in 1909 through his Virginia Railway and Power Company (VR\u0026amp;P). The firm purchased several electric streetcar lines and electric and gas utilities the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVR\u0026amp;P was acquired by New York engineering firm Stone \u0026amp; Webster in 1925. Stone and Webster placed it under a new holding company, Engineers Public Service (EPS). VR\u0026amp;P's name was changed to Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO), and the firm bought several utilities in North Carolina. During the 1930s the automobile and the Depression put the company's trolley lines out of business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1940 the government sued EPS under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. This in effect triggered an era of regulated utility monopolies. EPS was forced to divest itself of everything but VEPCO. However, VEPCO soon doubled its service territory by merging with the Virginia Public Service Company. The number of electric customers increased by about half from 1950 to 1957, so the company added new plants to keep up with demand. It also built the world's first extra-high-voltage transmission system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/utilities\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconUtilities.png?v=1665750728\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconUtilities.png?v=1665750728\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/virginia\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconVirginia.png?v=1663844787\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconVirginia.png?v=1663844787\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16314459390016,"sku":"2373","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/products\/2373.gif?v=1547119123"},{"product_id":"towle-manufacturing-company","title":"Towle Manufacturing Company (LOT OF 4 PIECES)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCompany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eTowle Manufacturing Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCertificate Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eCapital Stock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eDate Issued\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003e1940's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eCanceled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003ePrinter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003eJohn A.

In 1682 at the age of 18, William Moulton II left the family farm in Hampton and settled near the Merrimack River in a section of Newbury, Massachusetts that would later become Newburyport. By some accounts, he was the first in six generations of silversmiths. While he did buy and sell silver goods, he was basically a general trader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis son Joseph Moulton (1694-1750) has also been proposed as the first Moulton to work in silver, but he was actually a blacksmith by trade, though he likely turned his hand to whatever came through his shop door.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough most of the Moultons carried on their craft in Newburyport, some went to other communities where they established themselves as silversmiths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first verified silversmith was William Moulton III (1720–1793). He worked from 1742 to 1762 as a silversmith in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and from 1762 to 1788 in Hampstead, New Hampshire. He then moved in a covered wagon to Marietta, Ohio, carrying his silversmith's tools with him. He was one of the forty-eight pioneers to settle in the Northwest Territory, and is considered one of its founders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis son, Joseph Moulton (1744–1816), the fourth in line, worked from about 1764 to 1810 as a silversmith in Newburyport, with home and shop on State Street. He had four sons that were silversmiths. 1) Ebenezer moved to Boston. 2) Enoch moved to Portland, Maine, each of them continuing their crafts in their respective places. 3) Abel inherited his father's business in Newburyport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis son William Moulton IV (1772–1861) was the fifth in line of the Moulton chain. He established his own shop in the same place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam had two apprentices, Anthony Francis Towle and William P. Jones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe worked from 1795 to 1845 as a silversmith in Newburyport, Massachusetts. In addition to supplying well-crafted church silver and other vessels, he made jewelry in his shop on Merrimack Street.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis son, Joseph Moulton (1814–1903), the sixth and final in line, was the one that sold the silver business he inherited, to his father’s two apprentices, Anthony Francis Towle and William P. Jones (who were also his apprentices), in 1857 to form Towle \u0026amp; Jones, Co. In 1873, the son of Anthony Francis Towle, Edward Bass Towle, was added to the business, and the name was changed to A.F. Towle \u0026amp; Son.

Towle \u0026amp; Son, established the Towle Manufacturing Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1890, the company adopted the trademark of a large script \"T\" enclosed by a lion. Richard Dimes, an English silversmith who had immigrated to the U.S. in 1881, started Towle's hollowware line. Dimes, who also worked for the Frank W. Smith Silver Co., would eventually establish his own company, Richard Dimes Co., in Boston.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEventually the company's name was changed to Towle Silversmiths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, Towle has created numerous sterling silver flatware patterns in the United States: including the \"Candlelight\" in 1934, the \"Marie Louise\" in 1939 which became the official sterling silver pattern for U.S. embassies worldwide, \"Old Master\" in 1942, now considered by some to be the company’s flagship pattern, and the \"Contour\" in 1950 (designed by Robert J. King, patented by John Van Koert) which was the first American sterling pattern to manifest post-World War II organic modernist design and the only production-line American flatware included in the Museum of Modern Art's Good Design exhibitions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1990, Towle Silversmiths was acquired by the holding company Syratech Inc., that also owned Wallace Silversmiths and the International Silver Co.

Its purpose was to operate a car ferry operation between Ashtabula, Ohio, a major coal and ore port, and the fishing village of Port Burwell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Lakes Engineering Works of St.Clair, Michigan built a steel car ferry, \u003cem\u003eAshtabula\u003c\/em\u003e, capable of carrying 26 freight cars on four tracks. Primary traffic was coal from mines in Ohio and Pennsylvania - in fact, this was very nearly all the traffic carried, along with a small amount of southbound forest products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the 1950's dieselization and a general decline in coal, reduced the car ferry to an irregular service. The end came abruptly on September 18,1958 when the \u003cem\u003eAshtabula\u003c\/em\u003e collided with the freighter \u003cem\u003eBen Moreel\u003c\/em\u003e in Ashtabula, Ohio which resulted in its sinking. Although it was re-floated, it went back to where it had been built, for scrapping. Its purpose and time were over, from now on coal would come to Ontario all-rail via Buffalo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv

night boat services was the Detroit \u0026amp; Cleveland Navigation Company, which had its beginnings in the Detroit \u0026amp; Cleveland Steamboat Line. The D \u0026amp; C reached its zenith during the boom in Great Lakes shipping following World War I. Although the line already had a number of impressive night boats in operation, in the early 1920s it ordered Greater Buffalo and Great Detroit, the largest paddlewheel ships ever built with the exception of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Eastern, which was also fitted with a single screw.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreater Buffalo and Great Detroit were about 15 percent larger than either the D \u0026amp; C's Greater Detroit III or the Fall River Line's largest boat, Commonwealth, and they carried more than 1,500 overnight passengers on the 260-mile run across Lake Erie between Buffalo and Detroit. The ships' short peak season lasted only about ten weeks a year, and this combined with their large size made them especially vulnerable to the huge drop in passenger traffic during the Great Depression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey remained in operation with heavy losses until 1938, when they were laid up. After the start of World War II, Greater Buffalo was requisitioned by the Navy for use as the training carrier USS Sable. Thousands of naval aviators trained on her decks until her decommissioning in November 1945. She was sold for scrap in 1948.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/maritime\"\u003e \u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMaritime_480x480.png?v=1696003967\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/detroit-michigan\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWDetroitMichigan_480x480.png?v=1695994415\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/michigan\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMichigan_480x480.png?v=1695994445\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/buffalo-new-york\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWBuffaloNewYork_480x480.png?v=1696003559\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNewYork_480x480.png?v=1696003612\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Orange","offer_id":35899065729183,"sku":"103or","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":35899065696415,"sku":"103bl","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/103or.png?v=1760709303"},{"product_id":"laclede-gas-light-company","title":"Laclede Gas Light Company","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background-color: #fcfcf8;

The company refined and marketed gasoline under the DX brand in several midwestern states, and included several refineries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 1965 Sunray DX was the sixth largest oil company in the world. But in spite of its size and age the company was having some difficulty keeping pace with the rapidly changing socioeconomic landscape of the 1960s. In 1968, the company merged with the Sun Oil Company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSun Oil continued marketing its petroleum products under both the Sunoco and DX brands through the 1970s and into the 1980s. In the late 1980s, Sun began rebranding DX stations in the Midwest to the Sunoco brand and even introduced the high-octane Sunoco ULTRA 94 gasoline to stations in that region, but by the early 1990s, they pulled out of virtually all areas in the southeastern U.S. and west of the Mississippi, resulting in the closing and rebranding of service stations and jobbers to other brands in those areas, notably Sinclair in Oklahoma. Ironically enough, they also at this time offered Economy 86, which was the lowest commercially available gasoline at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith increased diversification, Sun Oil Company was renamed Sun Company in 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align:

The 20-cigarette pack was introduced by Reynolds Tobacco in 1913, and in 1915 the company introduced the one-piece, 10-pack carton. In 1931, Reynolds Tobacco became the first company to package its cigarettes with a moisture-proof, sealed cellophane outerwrap to preserve freshness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1925, Brown \u0026amp; Williamson purchased J.G. Flynt Tobacco Co. and its trademarks, including the popular Sir Walter Raleigh smoking tobacco. The following year, the company bought R.P. Richardson Company, which had just started to market manufactured cigarettes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn March 24, 1927, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina an announcement was made that Brown \u0026amp; Williamson was being acquired by London-based British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BAT) and reorganized as Brown \u0026amp; Williamson Tobacco Corporation. This enabled the company to increase its production capacity and expand its distribution beyond the Southeast. To expand its manufacturing capacity, construction began on a new Brown \u0026amp; Williamson factory in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1927. The company’s Winston-Salem office personnel relocated to Louisville in January 1929, and in 1931, the company’s executive offices in New York also moved to Louisville. Meanwhile, B\u0026amp;W’s first national brand, Raleigh, was launched as a premium cigarette in 1928.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1933, B\u0026amp;W launched KOOL cigarettes, the first U.S. menthol brand to gain nationwide distribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1936, B\u0026amp;W introduced Viceroy as the industry’s first cork-tipped filter product.

In 1984, B\u0026amp;W acquired the marketing rights for GPC. In 1987, B\u0026amp;W introduced Capri, a stylish cigarette with a circumference of only 17 millimeters, the first “superslim” cigarette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReynolds Tobacco began diversifying into foods and other non-tobacco businesses in the 1960s. In 1970, the corporation formed a new parent company called R.J. Reynolds Industries, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn September 1985, Reynolds Industries acquired Nabisco Brands. In 1986, the parent company was re-named RJR Nabisco, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November 1988, RJR Nabisco entered a merger agreement with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts \u0026amp; Co.

After being privately held for a period, the company’s common stock returned to the stock market in 1991. In early 1995, KKR divested its remaining holdings in RJR Nabisco.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a result of BAT’s acquisition of American Tobacco Company in 1994, the Carlton, Pall Mall, Misty, Tareyton and Lucky Strike brands were added to the B\u0026amp;W brand family, as those operations were integrated into B\u0026amp;W in 1995.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrior to 1999, RJR was a subsidiary of RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp.

The separation was accomplished through a spin-off of the domestic tobacco business, on a tax-free basis in the United States, to RJR Nabisco’s stockholders. In a stock distribution on June 14, 1999, RJR Nabisco stockholders of record as of May 27, 1999, received one share of RJR for every three shares of RJR Nabisco they owned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn December 11, 2000, R.J.

The Southwest Branch of the Pacific Railroad eventually became the St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco). By 1865, the Pacific had reached Kansas City, and in 1876 it was reorganized as the Missouri Pacific Railway. Jay Gould obtained control of the Missouri Pacific on 1879 and it became a key element of his vast empire. Gould's fortune quickly changed and all of his lines (including the Missouri Pacific) went into receivership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe line emerged from receivership in 1889 relatively unscathed with the International and Great Northern and the Texas and Pacific added to it. The name Missouri Pacific Railroad was assumed in 1917, after a reorganization that included the absorption of the bankrupt Iron Mountain Line. The line affectionately became known as the “MOP”; The MOP was the first line to use the 4-6-2 Pacific engine. Built in 1902 as a successor to the 2-6-2 Prairie and the 2-4-2 that preceded the Atlantic (both of which proved unstable at high speeds), the Pacific was actually named after the MOP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/missouri-pacific-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMissouriPacificRR.png?v=1664645395\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRailroad.png?v=1664138815\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/missouri-railroads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMissouriRailroads.png?v=1664746389\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/st-louis-san-francisco-railway\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconSTLSFRwy.png?v=1664746665\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/international-great-northern-railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconInternationalGreatNorthernRR.png?v=1670503332\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/texas-and-pacific-railway\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconTexasPacificRR.png?v=1670507740\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/st-louis-missouri\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconStLouisMissouri.png?v=1664748405\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/kansas-city-missouri\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconKansasCityMissouri.png?v=1664809599\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/missouri\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMissouri.png?v=1664746453\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Green","offer_id":45879269294328,"sku":"1250gr","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple","offer_id":45879269359864,"sku":"1250pu","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/1250gr_163fec57-bcbf-46b9-acac-2e4c3e70f808.png?v=1764964725"},{"product_id":"beech-creek-railroad-company","title":"Beech Creek Railroad Company","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 5px;

South Western Railroad, the Beech Creek District consisted of the trackage from Jersey Shore Junction southward and westward. The balance of the trackage, from Newberry Junction (near Williamsport) to Jersey Shore Junction and northward into New York State was the Fall Brook District. Coal from the Clearfield District moved to Newberry where it was interchanged with the Reading Railroad for forwarding to tidewater, or continued northward into New York for other coal users in the East. The output of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation mines was used for company supply coal by the New York Central's Lines East (of Buffalo).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Beech Creek was leased by the New York Central \u0026amp; Hudson River Railroad Company on December 15, 1890, retroactive to October 1, 1890, for 999 years. For almost another ten years the Beech Creek continued to operate independently of the NYC\u0026amp;HR. On July 1, 1899 the Beech Creek's independent operation ended, and it became part of the NYC\u0026amp;HR's Beech Creek District of the Pennsylvania Division. The New York Central, successor to the New York Central \u0026amp; Hudson River Railroad, continued to lease the Beech Creek for decades to come. Not until May, 1948 did the NYC move to acquire control of the Beech Creek through stock ownership. Despite the NYC's control of as much as 79 per cent of the Beech Creek's stock, the lease relationship continued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New York Central merged with its archrival, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in 1968 to form the Penn Central.

Essex Railroad was the third railroad to plan a route across the state of New Jersey from New York to Pennsylvania. Following the Camden \u0026amp; Amboy and the Elizabethtown \u0026amp; Somerville, it didn't exactly get the best choice for the route.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe charter was filed in 1835. The route selected was a much more difficult crossing then the minimal grades encountered in the center part of the state. The railroad surveyed a route starting from Newark and heading west across the state toward Dover. As each section was built, the M\u0026amp;E negotiated for better rates rather then searching for better grades. Little by little the railroad crossed the state from Newark through the Oranges then onto Summit, Chatham, Morristown and finally reaching Dover in 1848.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M\u0026amp;E's first trains started running on the eastern end in 1836. These first trains, like most of this era were horse drawn. The M\u0026amp;E didn't start running under steam until a year later. Its first engine was built in New Jersey, not England like they were a decade earlier. This engine was named The Orange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter reaching Dover, the M\u0026amp;E briefly paused, before continuing towards its ultimate goal: The coal fields of Pennsylvania. It then built west to Hackettstown were it turned southwest toward the Delaware River and Phillipsburg. The M\u0026amp;E finally reached the Delaware in 1865.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the mainline finally completed, the M\u0026amp;E then looked toward the iron mines in Morris Country. First lines were built to tap the mines in Newton and Andover. A branch from Newark to Bloomfield was built at the same time. In 1867, the Boontown branch was built.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the eastern end, things were not proceeding as smoothly. The M\u0026amp;E still ended here and had no route of its own into the lucrative New York markets. To continue on, the M\u0026amp;E would need to cross the Passaic. Help came from the Steven's family of Hoboken. Edwin Steven realized that he could weaken the New Jersey Railroad by strengthening the M\u0026amp;E, and in the process, increase the value of his holdings on the Hudson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Morris \u0026amp; Essex ended its life as an independent entity on December 31, 1868.

At the time, Atlantic's business was simply to store and ship crude and refined oils. In 1870 the company built a refinery that could process a record 3,000 barrels a day. Only four years later it was sold to John D. Rockefeller's vast Standard Oil Trust, where it remained until 1911 when the Trust was dissolved by a federal court, leaving Atlantic on its own with no crude oil, pipelines or tankers. This prompted Atlantic's concerned president John Wesley Van Dyke to tell his people: \"Go find the company some crude,\" which they did, making significant discoveries in the American Southwest. During the next few decades, Atlantic acquired a fleet of oil tankers, built a network of pipelines, and established a system of service stations throughout the eastern part of the nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1963 Atlantic purchased the Hondo Oil \u0026amp; Gas Company, a small oil producer in the Western states, from Robert O. Anderson, who took a seat on Atlantic's Board of Directors. Two years later, Anderson was elected chairman. A visionary businessman, Anderson, along with President Thornton F. Bradshaw, guided the company through two significant mergers. The first was with Richfield Oil Corporation. Founded in 1905, Richfield grew quickly into one of the West Coast's leading gasoline marketers, with its own refineries and production properties. Gas wars and financial setbacks pushed Richfield into receivership in the early 1930s. The firm was reorganized in 1936 and once again captured an important share of the gasoline market. In its merger with Atlantic Refining Company on January 3, 1966, Richfield brought along its Alaskan leases and Prudhoe Bay exploration program, providing the new Atlantic Richfield Company with a promising blend of exploration and producing properties. Merger talks heated up again in the late '60s, this time with the Sinclair Oil Corporation, founded by Harry F. Sinclair in 1916. ARCO was attracted by Sinclair's chemical and refining operations as well as its network of crude and product pipelines. The merger was completed in 1969.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1968, ARCO and its partner Exxon struck oil at Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope of Alaska, the biggest oil strike ever in the Western Hemisphere. At the time, recoverable reserves were estimated at 9.6 billion barrels, a figure that has since increased to over 13 billion barrels. To prepare for the huge volume of oil that would move through the Trans Alaska Pipeline, ARCO began expansion of its refining and marketing capability on the West Coast, including construction of a new refinery at Ferndale, Washington, and upgrading of the Los Angeles refinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"

Context\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eIn 1927, Howard Denning Johnson assumed ownership (from his deceased father) of a small patent medicine store, soda fountain and newsstand, located in Wollaston, a section of Quincy, Massachusetts. The store was a money loser. Still, Johnson felt he could make it could work. The first thing he did was send out delivery boys to sell newspapers in nearby communities. Sales went up, then Johnson turned his attention to the soda fountain. The store sold just three flavors of ice cream-vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Johnson believed the number of flavors should be expanded, but first, he was determined to improve the quality of the ice cream he was selling. Using an old-fashioned freezer in the basement, he began cranking away by hand and experimenting to develop the best product possible. By doubling the butterfat content and using only natural ingredients-Johnson came up with what he thought was a superior ice cream. His customers thought so, too, and soon they were standing in lines outside his establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/HOWARDJOHNSON.jpg?v=1607773504\" width=\"269\" height=\"353\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe demand led to expansion and soon he was selling his ice cream at stands on nearby beaches and other locations. In three years, his debts were overcome and his business was a success. He added frankforts, hamburgers and other foods, carefully making sure of the best quality of content and preparation. His little store had become a restaurant and Johnson then decided that the food business was a way to greater success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1929, he opened another restaurant, in downtown Quincy, Massachusetts, and began planning further expansion. Later that year, the stock market crash threw the country into the Great Depression and Johnson's expansion plans became dim. Johnson had envisioned a chain of restaurants which would have the confidence of travelers. He believed the automobile would change the face of America and he foresaw better roads and more people on the move who would want good food at sensible prices. He owed so much money he couldn't borrow more, but he was eager to expand. Then, he conceived a new idea-franchising. Johnson talked another businessman into using the \"Howard Johnson's\" name on a Cape Cod restaurant, in return for a fee and an agreement to buy food and supplies from Johnson. The idea worked well for both men, and Johnson made similar agreements with others. That was the beginning of restaurant franchising, a system that has since been replicated by countless others. By 1935, there were 25 Howard Johnson's roadside ice cream and sandwich stands in Massachusetts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA year later, one of the first Howard Johnson's Restaurant in Connecticut was opened by Irving Carter, on Route 1 in Milford. That restaurant remained open as a HoJo's until 1999. During the last years of the 1930's, the number of HoJo's Restaurants grew to more than 100 along the Atlantic coast all the way to Florida. The first turnpike restaurant in the U.S. was opened by Howard Johnson's on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The company soon became the leading tollroad operator in the country. Business boomed and the Howard Johnson Company continued to grow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen came World War II, and once again, Johnson faced financial disaster. Food rationing cut off the Company's supplies, and gasoline rationing and travel restrictions cut off his customers. Most of the restaurants closed and the Company faced bankruptcy. Johnson kept the Company alive by providing food for military installations, defense plants and schools. When the war ended, most of the restaurants reopened and new ones were built.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe trend toward a scarcity of skilled chefs had already come into focus and steps to cope with this labor shortage had to be taken. Johnson pioneered the new convenience food concept of processing and pre-proporting food in Company-operated central plants and shipping to restaurants for final preparation and cooking to insure high quality standardized food service. Each restaurant was topped with a bright orange roof so the traveler would immediately recognize the restaurant. This became a beacon to the travelers as Howard Johnson's became know for quality food at reasonable prices and with the added lure of ice cream available in 28 flavors. Howard Johnson's had 400 restaurants in 1954 when the Company entered the lodging industry with the opening of it's first franchised motor lodge in Savannah, Georgia. A pre-sold name in which the motorist placed confidence, soon became a combined dining and one-stop overnight convenience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1959, Howard D. Johnsons passed the reins to his son, Howard B. Johnson. Growth continued and the Company became publicly owned in 1961, with it's stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange. In the 1960's, HoJo still owned the road, expansion had stretched coast-to-coast. In 1965, sales exceeded those of McDonald's, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken COMBINED! HoJo's was the second largest food feeder in the U.S., second only to the U.S. Army. In 1969, HoJo's developed the \"Ground Round\" restaurant concept, joining HoJo's previously established \"Red Coach Grills\" restaurants. By the late 1970's, HoJo's empire consisted of over 1,000 restaurants, more than 500 motor lodges, vending and turnpike operations and a manufacturing and distribution system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite this growth, competition from fast food chains and other, new emerging chains had cut into HoJo business. Howard Johnson's was sold by the founder's son to British conglomerate Imperial Group in 1980, for more than $630 million dollars. An effort with new management teams, new restaurant concepts and millions of dollars failed to rejuvenate the chain, and in 1985, Imperial sold the company, except for \"Ground Round,\" to Marriott Corporation. Marriott's interest was in the restaurant locations, which it planned to convert to its own concepts, so it quickly sold the motel\/hotel\/motor lodge system to Prime Motor Inns. The hotel system is owned today by Cendant Corporation, and has approximately 500 locations. Because the HJ Restaurant franchisees had worked for decades to develop their local business, there were obvious concerns about the long-term viability of the restaurant system. In 1986, a group of franchisees, led by former U.S. Attorney Griffin Bell, sued Marriott and Prime. A settlement was reached that allowed the franchisees to form their own company, Franchise Associates, Inc. FAI then gained the rights to the name \"Howard Johnson's,\" as well as the right to franchise restaurants and ice cream shops with the \"Howard Johnson's\" name. FAI also owns the original HJ recipes, and, to this day, sells items like Howard Johnson's Macaroni and Cheese, TenderSweet Fried Clams, Chicken Croquettes and Toastees in major grocery stores. In 1990, FAI opened a new prototype \"Howard Johnson's Restaurant\" in Canton, Massachusetts, in hopes of gaining new franchisees. In 2000, that prototype closed. There are currently 10 HJ Restaurants and 1 HJ Ice Cream Shoppe in existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: centert;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/howard-johnsons\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconHowardJohnson.png?v=1669738685\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconHowardJohnson.png?v=1669738685\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/hotel-restaurant\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconHotels.png?v=1664483034\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconHotels.png?v=1664483034\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/hotel-restaurant\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRestaurants.png?v=1663789598\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRestaurants.png?v=1663789598\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/marriott\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMarriott.png?v=1669739070\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMarriott.png?v=1669739070\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/cape-cod-massachusetts\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconCapeCodMassachusetts.png?v=1667129912\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconCapeCodMassachusetts.png?v=1667129912\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/massachusetts\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMassachusetts.png?v=1664993834\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconMassachusetts.png?v=1664993834\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Orange","offer_id":67523715825912,"sku":"2259or","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":67523715858680,"sku":"2259gr","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/products\/2259or.png?v=1639839484"},{"product_id":"missouri-kansas-and-texas-railway-company","title":"Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/ListingIconImages.png?v=1710277886\" style=\"margin-right: 20px;

He was employed in breaking prairie and farming. In 1840 he commenced constructing flat-boats on the Wabash River, loading them with products from the Wea Plains and taking them to New Orleans. In 1848 he moved to La Fayette, Indiana, and started in a general merchandise business with James G. Carnahan, under the firm name of Carnahan \u0026amp; Earl. He disposed of his interest to his partner in 1853, and embarked in the wholesale grocery business. The same year, in company with Henry Jacobs, of Rainsville, Warren County, Indiana, he conducted a general merchandise store for several years. Near the close of 1853 he formed a partnership with Moses Fowler in the wholesale grocery trade, under the name of Fowler \u0026amp; Earl. In 1857, they added to their business that of banking, opening the Indiana Bank, which was afterward merged into the La Fayette Branch of the State of Indiana, afterward known as the National State Bank of La Fayette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the above period Earl continued as the active manager of the wholesale grocery house. In 1857, Henry C. Bruce was admitted as partner, under the name of Fowler, Earl \u0026amp; Bruce, which continued until 1860, when Earl purchased the other interests and associated himself with William Hatcher, of La Fayette, the firm being Earl \u0026amp; Hatcher. Up to this time the grocery business had been conducted in rooms in the Purdue block, on Second, corner of Columbus Street, but it had become so large they had to obtain more space. Accordingly, in 1865, they erected the large stone-front building known as the Earl \u0026amp; Hatcher block, on Third, corner of South street, and early in 1866 moved their stock and office into it. In February, 1869, Hatcher died, and in April following Chalres W, Bangs, of La Fayette, was admitted as partner, the firm name becoming Adams Earl \u0026amp; Co. In 1876, Morell J. Earl, the only son of Adams Earl, was admitted into the house, and continued an active member until his death, June 28, 1879.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1860, Earl engaged with others as J.H. Telford \u0026amp; Co., in pork and beef packing, and built a spacious packing-house in La Fayette. They continued for six years, doing a large trade. In 1862, Earl was a partner in the firm of Culbertson, Blair \u0026amp; Co., of Chicago, Illinois, and engaged in a general commission business and in packing pork and beef. They built a large packinghouse in that city and carried on an extensive and profitable trade until the dissolution of the partnership in 1867. In 1862, Earl and Hatcher became associated with A. J. Carnahan, under the firm name of Carnahan, Earl \u0026amp; Co., in the wholesale boot and shoe trade, which they continued for three years. That same year, Earl became a member of the wholesale dry goods house of Curtis, Earl \u0026amp; Co. continuing in it until 1869, when he disposed of his interest to this partners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1869 an enterprise was commenced by La Fayette citizens to secure an east and west railroad, running from Muncie, Indiana, through LaFayette, to Bloomington, Illinois. From its first inception Earl took and active interest in the project. At the first meeting he was elected a director of the company, and by the directors he was elected president. He served in this capacity three years, during which time the western division of the road was completed and put in operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1870 the Cincinnati, La Fayette \u0026amp; Chicago Railroad Company was organized to construct and operate a railroad from La Fayette to Kankakee, Illinois, there to connect with the Illinois Central for Chicago. This road was owned by Earl, Fowler and Gustavus Ricker, with Earl being president, general manager and builder. This section of railroad eventually became part of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis \u0026amp; Chicago Railroad, and was known as the Kankakee line, the shortest line to Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1877, by purchasing Fowler's bonds and stock, Earl secured a controlling interest in the property, and to its management gave his careful and constant attention. In November, 1879, Earl disposed of his controlling interest in this property to a party of Boston capitalists, and retired from its management.

The company was organized by Judge Hiram Bond and financed by a group of investors from Boston that included Willard T. Sears of the architectural firm Cummings and Sears, which had experience in designing stone railroad bridges and ramps. The company did surveys and design work and promoted the project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to the principals behind the project being from out of town, the project had difficulty getting fully licensed. The package of rights and designs were sold to New York City investors led by Gen. James Jourdan due to the lack of support for the Bostonians by local political leaders. Due to the persistence of Jourdan the project eventually got off the ground. The company directors besides Jourdan were Edward A. Abbott, Henry J. Davison, Harvey Farrington, Wendell Goodwin, Henry J. Robinson, James O. Sheldon and William A. Read. William A. Read was the financier whose company Read \u0026amp; Company later became Dillon, Read. On October 1, 1899, the Kings County Elevated Railroad (KCERR) became successor to the KCERy, and on May 24, 1900 the KCERR was merged into its competitor, the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad company, thus ending its separate corporate existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KCERy ran only one rapid transit mainline, the Fulton Street Elevated, beginning in 1888, but it was one of the most lucrative in Brooklyn, operating from Fulton Ferry, through the heart of the downtown area, then through the center of the borough, and the communities of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville and East New York to City Line. In addition, the KCERy later acquired access to the tracks of the Brooklyn Bridge railroad to bring its trains to the Park Row terminal in (Manhattan) opposite the New York City Hall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1896, the KCERy built a short elevated line from Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street to connect to the tracks of the Brooklyn \u0026amp; Brighton Beach RR south of Atlantic Avenue, permitting KCERy elevated trains access to the communities of Crown Heights, Flatbush, Midwood, Homecrest, Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island at Brighton Beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: centert;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/trolley\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconTrolley.png?v=1664651990\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconTrolley.png?v=1664651990\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/brooklyn-new-york-trolley-companies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconBrooklynTrolleyCompanies.png?v=1670241869\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconBrooklynTrolleyCompanies.png?v=1670241869\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/manhattan-new-york-trolley-companies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconManhattanTrolleyCompanies.png?v=1668807549\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconManhattanTrolleyCompanies.png?v=1668807549\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/coney-island-new-york\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"113\" width=\"120\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconConeyIslandNewYork.png?v=1671820092\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconConeyIslandNewYork.png?v=1671820092\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/brooklyn-new-york\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconBrooklynNewYork.png?v=1664469889\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconBrooklynNewYork.png?v=1664469889\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/manhattan-new-york\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconManhattanNewYork.png?v=1663786575\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconManhattanNewYork.png?v=1663786575\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"114\" width=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewYork.png?v=1663786614\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewYork.png?v=1663786614\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18083497377856,"sku":"650","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/products\/650.gif?v=1546949671"},{"product_id":"ohio-valley-railway-company","title":"Ohio Valley Railway Company","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background-color: #fcfcf8;

The railroad was completed to Hagerstown, Maryland in 1872. Within a year, its name was changed to Western Maryland Rail Road Company, and eventually, it became the Western Maryland Railway Company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Connellsville Extension was built west from Cumberland, Maryland, to Connellsville, Pennsylvania, beginning around 1906 and was completed in 1912. In 1931, the Western Maryland became part of the Alphabet Route, a competitor to more major railroads including the Pennsylvania Railroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway began as a narrow gauge line in 1880, its name and gauge changed in 1881 and in the ensuing years it opened a huge swathe of timber and coal territory in northern West Virginia to use, creating such towns as Elkins, Davis and Thomas. A major connection was made with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's Greenbrier Branch at Durbin, West Virginia in 1900. Sold to the Gould interests in 1902, it became an important part of the WM in 1905 and contributed heavily to that road's prosperity in the coal and lumber trade down to modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus, although never a giant, the Connellsville subdivision of WM handled through midwest fast freight traffic and coal from company-owned mines near Fairmont, West Virginia, and Somerset, Pennsylvania. In 1930, the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railroad Company reached Connellsville to hook up with the WM. That line operates today as the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1964, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C\u0026amp;O) and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B\u0026amp;O) jointly filed for permission to acquire control of the Western Maryland Railway with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). In 1973, as part of the Chessie System, the Western Maryland ownership went to C\u0026amp;O and it was operated by the B\u0026amp;O. In 1987, it was merged into the C\u0026amp;O which itself became part of CSX Transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/western-maryland-railway\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWWesternMarylandRwy_480x480.png?v=1702300622\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWRailroad.png?v=1697043934\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/maryland-railroad-companies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMarylandRailroadCompanies_480x480.png?v=1702300133\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/baltimore-and-ohio-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWBORR.png?v=1696071632\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/chesapeake-and-ohio-railway\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWCORR_480x480.png?v=1702300437\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/maryland\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMaryland.png?v=1696504524\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/west-virginia\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWWestVirginia.png?v=1696157162\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/pennsylvania\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewPennsylvania.png?v=1695911920\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18088231731264,"sku":"3706","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/3706_ebcc8d4d-bce5-441c-b518-520bad548e76.png?v=1786464115"},{"product_id":"second-third-street-passenger-railway-company-of-philadelphia","title":"Second \u0026 Third Street Passenger Railway Company of Philadelphia","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/ListingIconImages.png?v=1710277886\" style=\"margin-right: 20px;

The cast iron pipes installed by this company were imported from Scotland. This company was quite successful and combined with other local water companies to form the Consolidated Water Company of Utica on November 13, 1899.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company operated independently until 1938 when it was sold to the city of Utica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocated in New York’s Mohawk Valley Region, Utica was founded in 1704 by Joseph Crandall, Utica was first settled in 1773 on the site of Fort Schuyler which was built in 1758 and abandoned after the French and Indian War. The city's name, said to have been picked at random from a hat, originates from the classical North African city of Utica (in present-day Tunisia.) During the American Revolution the original settlement was destroyed in an attack by Tories and Native Americans, but was rebuilt after the Revolution. Utica was incorporated as a city in 1832.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUtica's location on the Erie Canal stimulated its industrial development which was further enhanced as railroads and other canals were built. The middle section of the Erie Canal, from Utica to Salina, was in 1820 the first portion to open, and elaborate celebrations were held in the town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated

originally known as The National Watch Company of Chicago, Illinois was incorporated on August 27, 1864 with a capital of $100,000. The incorporators were Philo Carpenter, Howard Z. Culver, Benjamin W. Raymond, George M. Wheeler, Thomas S. Dickerson, Edward H. Williams and W. Robbins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn September of 1864 a visit was made by some company representatives to the Waltham Watch Company and seven of their key people where lured away to work for the newly formed company and they were nicknamed the Seven Stars. The bait used was a $5,000 a year salary for 5 years, a $5,000 bonus and one acre of land on the company's, soon to be acquired, 35 acre site (some things never seem to change). Since turn about is fair play, Elgin lost several of the Seven Stars to the Illinois Watch Company a few years later in 1869.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Seven Stars were all machinists first and watchmakers second. One of these men was Charles S. Moseley and he became the factory's first superintendent. He had been in the watch business since 1852.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first movement was delivered from the factory April 1, 1867 and was named in honor of Benjamin W. Raymond. It was an 18 size, key wind, and full plate, with quick train and straight-line escapement arranged to set on the face and was adjusted to temperature. At that time watches took six months to complete and the B. W. Raymond model sold for $117 at a time when pork chops sold for three cents a pound (several years ago this watch was bought at auction by the city of Elgin for $15,000).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn May 12, 1874 during a special stockholder's meeting held in Chicago, the name of the company was changed to \"The Elgin National Watch Company. This was thought to be advisable because the movements manufactured by the company were universally known as and called \"Elgin Watches\" or the \"Watch from Elgin\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1888 the factory was producing about 7,500 movements per week, about one fifth of which were key wind and one tenth of the movements were nickel. The factory had 2,300 employees at this time and they were split 50\/50 between men and women but not so their pay. The women earned about $6 per week while some of the men earned as much as $3 per day and this was for a 6-day work week.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring World War I the United States Army had the Elgin factory train more than 350 men to make the precision repairs required in the battlefields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was during the Second World War that all civilian work was stopped and Elgin made military watches, chronometers for the U.S. Navy, fuses for artillery shells, altimeters and instruments for aircraft and sapphire bearings used in the aiming of cannon. The Elgin Company was awarded ten Army-Navy \"E\" awards, for full filling contracts ahead of schedule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Elgin Company diversified after World War II making decorator clocks, transistor radios, wedding rings, but the heart's beat was the Elgin watch. That heart beat had been getting slower every year and Elgin ceased to depend on the watch factory as its main enterprise.
