  • Sunbeam Corporation: “Chainsaw Al,” Greed, and Recovery

    Sunbeam Corporation: “Chainsaw Al,” Greed, and Recovery

    1 Sunbeam Corporation: “Chainsaw Al,” Greed, and Recovery INTRODUCTION When John Stewart and Thomas Clark founded the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company in Dundee, Illinois, in 1897, they probably never expected that their company would grow into a huge conglomerate and face ethical and financial dilemmas more than 100 years later. Like many corporations, the firm has survived many crises. It has changed its name, acquired rival companies, added new product lines, gone through bankruptcy, restructured, relocated, and hired and fired many CEOs, including “Chainsaw Al” Dunlap. Today, Sunbeam has grown into a well-known brand of consumer products used for cooking, health care, and personal care. MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF CHANGE The first products that Sunbeam manufactured and sold were agricultural tools. In 1910 the company began manufacturing electrical appliances, one of the first being a clothes iron. At that time, Stewart and Clark began using the name Sunbeam in advertising campaigns, although the company did not officially change its name to the Sunbeam Corporation until 1946. Sunbeam’s electric products sold well even during the Great Depression when homemakers throughout the country quickly accepted the Sunbeam Mixmaster, automatic coffee maker, and pop-up toaster. The years following the Great Depression were times of growth and innovation for Sunbeam. The next major development came in 1960 when Sunbeam acquired rival appliance maker John Oster Manufacturing Company, which helped make Sunbeam the leading manufacturer of electric appliances. During the 1980s, a period of relatively high inflation and interest rates, corporations were going through acquisitions, mergers, restructurings, and closings—doing whatever they could to continue operating profitably.

    Graco® Announces Partnership With Baby2Baby To Help Provide Baby Products To Families In Need September 27, 2019 Graco® donated over $250,000 worth of products to the non-profit organization to support the children served by Baby2Baby and its Sweet Dreams initiative. ATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Graco is excited to announce that it will be partnering with non-profit organization, Baby2Baby, to help families in need gain access to the necessary baby gear to keep little ones safe. To start the partnership, Graco donated over $250,000 in product including a variety of car seats, strollers, playards, swings and highchairs to support the children living in poverty Baby2Baby serves. Educational materials on car seat safety and safe sleep will accompany the donation, helping to support Baby2Baby's programs and providing parents with tips and tools to assist in keeping their little ones protected. "We are thrilled to be teaming up with Baby2Baby to offer families access to thousands of baby products," said Laurel Hurd, Segment President, Learning & Development, Newell Brands. "For over 60 years, Graco has been committed to providing parents with thoughtful and safe solutions, and we are happy to bring our innovations to families in need through Baby2Baby's network." In addition to the product donation, Graco will also give $10,000 to support Baby2Baby's Sweet Dreams initiative, which aims to provide every child with a safe place to sleep. Sleep safety is an important issue to the organization, as the cost of safe sleep options is prohibitive for many low-income families, making children living in poverty the most vulnerable.

  • The History of the Waterman Pen Company

    The History of the Waterman Pen Company

    A History Of The Waterman Pen Company © Tancia Ltd 2013 Early attempts to create a pen that held its own ink The transition from mark making on surfaces such as clay with a pointed stylus to the use of ink and pen is believed to have begun at least 4000 years ago. The Romans developed an ingenious method for delivering ink to the page with the invention of a primitive fountain pen. A piece of reed from marsh grasses or bam- boo was cut to form a nib at one end and the stem was filled with ink. The writer could dispense the ink to the nib of the reed pen by squeezing the reed. What is not recorded in the history books is to what extent this early reservoir pen leaked or spoiled would-be papyrus masterpieces. There is also documentary evidence of an early prototype of a reservoir pen devel- oped in the Middle East in the 10th centu- ry AD. It is recorded in Kitab-al-Majalis wa ‘l-musayarat written in 953 that the caliph of the Maghreb, Ma’ad al-Mu’izz insisted on a pen that could be trusted not to stain his clothes or his hands. The text continues that such a pen was provided and that it could be held upside down without leak- ing whilst holding ink in its reservoir that was delivered to its nib.1 Quills and Dip Pens – the non-reservoir alternatives At around the same time that paper made its journey to Europe in the 8th century AD, quill feathers became the most popular writing instrument and remained so for a thousand years.

  • In Re: Appraisal of Jarden Corporation

    In Re: Appraisal of Jarden Corporation

    IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE : IN RE: APPRAISAL OF : CONSOLIDATED JARDEN CORPORATION : C.A. No. 12456-VCS : MEMORANDUM OPINION Date Submitted: May 1, 2019 Date Decided: July 19, 2019 Stuart M. Grant, Esquire, Cynthia M. Calder, Esquire, Kimberly A. Evans, Esquire, Kelly L. Tucker, Esquire and Vivek Upadhya, Esquire of Grant & Eisenhofer P.A., Wilmington, Delaware, Attorneys for Petitioners. Srinivas M. Raju, Esquire, Brock E. Czeschin, Esquire, Robert L. Burns, Esquire, Sarah A. Clark, Esquire and Matthew W. Murphy, Esquire of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., Wilmington, Delaware and Walter W. Davis, Esquire, Michael J. McConnell, Esquire and Robert A. Watts, Esquire, of Jones Day, Atlanta, Georgia, Attorneys for Respondent Jarden Corporation. SLIGHTS, Vice Chancellor This statutory appraisal action arises from a merger whereby Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. (“Newell”) acquired Jarden Corporation (“Jarden” or the “Company”) (the “Merger”) for cash and stock totaling $59.21 per share (the “Merger Price”). Petitioners, Verition Partners Master Fund Ltd., Verition Multi-Strategy Master Fund Ltd., Fir Tree Value Master Fund, LP and Fir Tree Capital Opportunity Master Fund, LP (together “Petitioners”), were Jarden stockholders on the Merger’s effective date and seek a judicial appraisal of the fair value of their Jarden shares as of that date. At the close of the trial, I observed, “[w]e are in the classic case where . very-well credentialed experts are miles apart. There’s some explaining that is required here to understand how it is that two very well-credentialed, I think, well- intended experts view this company so fundamentally differently.”1 This observation was prompted by the all-too-frequently encountered disparity in the experts’ opinions regarding Jarden’s fair value.
