  • STOCK CERTIFICATES Information Compiled by Dr
    STOCK CERTIFICATES Information Compiled by Dr. Paul Goodwin Stock certificates in their own right reflect a slice of the history of the times in which they were produced. In this sense they are useful as a striking visual primary source. The following certificates, in addition to the images shown on them, show the consolidation and mergers of companies that in some cases created monopolies. They also, by extension, illustrate lines of communication and navigation. United Fruit Company This certificate is an excellent starting point for a discussion of the conflicted history of the United Fruit Company. Founded in 1899 as a merger of two other companies, United Fruit was instrumental in bringing attention to American and later global consumers the delights and benefits of the banana. It converted thousands of acres of land in Central America (primarily Guatemala) to the production of the fruit, built railroads and port facilities, and maintained its own “Great White Fleet” of “banana boats” (that also carried mail). It also meddled in the internal affairs of Central American governments, was the target of anti-trust legislation, and cited for poor labor relations. It may well have been the source of the term “Banana Republic”. And who can forget “Chiquita Banana”? The company was also the target of Latin American literary figures such as Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Miguel Angel Asturias. An examination of the stock certificate reveals the following: In the medallion on the left banana bunches and trees and a section of railroad. In the medallion on the right one of the ships of the “Great White Fleet”.

  • 58 Annual Tartan Ball * April 2
    The Pibroch Official Journal of The St. Andrew’s Society of Baltimore standrewsbaltimore.org June - July 2011 * Volume 205 Issue 4 * Stuart Blair Editor 58th Annual Tartan Ball * April 2 Our 58th annual Tartan Ball, held April 2, was an outstanding success. The Boumi Shrine Highlanders Pipers and Drummers were in fine form, impressing the British Consulate guest at my table. Their renditions of the service songs for the Marines, Army, and Navy are always crowd pleasers. Our Wounded Warrior guest this year was from the Air Force, but we were unable to honor him with Wild Blue Yonder. Nevertheless we expressed, a warm outpour of appreciation for the sacrifices he has made for our country. On a further musical note, Andy McCombe did his usual outstanding job of singing the three national anthems, God Save the Queen, Flower of Scotland, and The Star Spangled Banner. A slight snafu in the proceedings occurred when our “Keeper of the Quaich” discovered he had a scheduling conflict and could not attend the ball. We didn’t realize until an hour before Al Schudel was to deliver his famous Address to the Haggis that we had no vessel into which to pour the single malt. I rushed to the kitchen and began frantically searching for a substitute, when I came upon a coffee urn lid that bore a slight resemblance to a quaich. All went well, and Al did a superb job of addressing the haggis – as always. And honestly, did any of you even notice that our “Quaich” was a coffee urn top turned upside down? After a delicious meal, Al orchestrated the ever-popular Grand March, which led directly into dancing the night away.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.
