The Dupont Viscoloid Company, Inc. is a former plastics manufacturer based in Leominster, Massachusetts.  The company was founded by Alexander Paton, Ludwig Stross and Bernard W. Doyle in 1901 as the Sterling Comb Company.  In 1912, the three men consolidated a number of smaller plastics manufactures under the name Viscoloid Company.  The company pioneered the use of pyroxylin plastic in hair combs, toilet articles, and a number of different products.  In 1914, the Viscoloid Company began marketing pyroxylin plastic toys.  The toy industry quickly became the company’s most profitable, and the Viscoloid was soon the leading pyroxylin plastic toy manufacturer in America.  By 1923, Bernard Doyle had taken over the company and “The Viscoloid” spanned 106 buildings and was the largest employer in Leominster.  In 1925, the company was sold to the Dupont Company of Leominster and was renamed the Dupont Viscoloid Company, Inc.  The company would continually be a giant in the plastics industry until closing in November 1977.

Foltz Nunatak ( ) is a nunatak rising to about 800 m , 1 nmi north of Schwartz Peak in Antarctica.  The feature is part of a nunatak group discovered and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in November 1935.  It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1961–68, and from Landsat imagery taken 1973–74.  It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1987 after Gary F. Foltz, a USGS cartographic technician and a member of USGS satellite surveying teams at the South Pole Station during two winter periods, 1978 and 1984. McCormick & Company is a Fortune 1000 company that manufactures spices, herbs, and flavorings for retail, commercial, and industrial markets.  The company began in 1889 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.  One hundred years later, McCormick moved from downtown Baltimore to the suburb of Hunt Valley, Maryland.  McCormick has approximately 8,000 employees.  The company is headquartered in Sparks, Maryland. Incorporated in 1953, Carona Shoes, managed by the Sahu family till 1984, was earlier called as Carona Sahu Shoe company.  In 1984, the company headquarters in D N Road (near Fort) was engulfed fire and in one sense the slide began from there.  In 1984, the company was acquired by the Khataus after which it got the present name.  The company used to manufacture canvas and rubber footwear of all kinds.  It had its manufacturing facilities in Mumbai (Jogeshwari), Aurangabad and Ahmedabad.  In 1989, the company entered into a technical agreement with Puma AG Rudolf Dassler Sport, Germany, to manufacture sports and special application shoes.  It came out with a public issue in June 89 to set up a unit in Aurangabad to manufacture the sports shoes.  In 1995, there was a reshuffle in the management because of a split in the Khatau family.  In addition to the labour problem, the company was also not able to cope up with the competition from the unorganised sector for its lower segment products like canvas and rubber footwear.  The company was incurring losses.  Consequently, in 1995, it disposed off its Jogeshwari plant where operations were partially suspended since March 94.  Around 800 of its 1200 workers were relieved through a VRS scheme.  The company renewed its agreement for five years with Puma in 1995.  During the year 1999, the company has been registered as a sick company under SICA 1985 and BIFR has appointed Bank of India as its operating agency to expedite preparation of Draft of Rehabilitation Scheme.

Hiram Sibley of the Western Union Telegraph Company won the contract.  In 1861, Benjamin Franklin Ficklin joined Hiram Sibley in helping to form the Pacific Telegraph Company of Nebraska.  At the same time, Jeptha Wade was asked by Hiram Sibley to encourage the consolidation of telegraph companies in California, a process that had been underway there anyway, most notably involving the merger of the two largest intrastate companies following a lawsuit between them, the Alta Telegraph Company and the California State Telegraph Company.  The Overland Telegraph Company of California was thus formed with Horace W. Carpentier of the California State Telegraph Company serving as its president, and it began building east from Carson City, Nevada while its eastern counterpart, the Pacific Telegraph Company began building west from Omaha, Nebraska.   Upon their connection in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 24, 1861, the final link between the east and west coast of the United States of America was made.  The First Transcontinental Telegraph led to the immediate demise of the Pony Express.  The Pacific Telegraph Company of Nebraska and the Overland Telegraph Company of California were eventually absorbed into the Western Union Telegraph Company. Water privatization in Guayaquil began with the decision taken in 1995 to privatize drinking water supply and sewerage in Guayaquil, the largest city and economic capital of Ecuador, through a concession contract.  In preparation for privatization, the previously separate water and sewer utilities were merged into a single utility in 1996.  The new utility began a modernization process and began to improve its performance.  In parallel, the international bidding for the concession was prepared by Banque Paribas as the international advisor and was supported by the Inter-American Development Bank.  The latter made a loan that was signed in October 1997 conditional upon the decision to award a concession.  The 30-year concession agreement between the city government and the private company Interagua was signed in 2001.  The contract was "poor-friendly", requiring the private company to keep tariffs constant for the first five years and to connect new users in poor areas "at no cost".  At the same time, the former municipal water and sewer utility ECAPAG became the regulatory agency for the new private utility.  Interagua is a consortium led by the Spanish company Proactiva Medio Ambiente, which in turn is supported by the Spanish construction firm FCC and the French water company Veolia Environnement.  In 2012 the regulator ECAPAG was transformed into the Municipal Public Drinking Water and Sanitation Company of Guayaquil in what may be a first step towards the municipalization of the concession. Camp Coffee is a Scottish food product, which began production in 1876 by Paterson & Sons Ltd. in a plant on Charlotte Street, Glasgow.  Almost one hundred years later in 1974 businessman Daniel Jenks merged his business with Paterson to form Paterson Jenks plc.  In 1984, Paterson Jenks plc was bought by McCormick & Company.  Thereafter, McCormick UK Ltd assimilated Paterson Jenks plc into Schwartz. The jute trade is centred mainly around Bangladesh and the Indian State of West Bengal.  The major producing country of jute is Bangladesh, due to its natural fertile soil.  Bengal Jute was taken to Europe early in the 17th century by the Dutch and the French and later by the East India Company to Britain.  By the 1790s a much larger trade had developed in the Scottish city of Dundee, the European home of jute spinners.  Introduced to the British by the East India Company, crude fibre was the bulk still exported from Bengal after 1790, but a thriving trade did not really begin until after 1850 through mechanised processing, to meet rising demand.  Raw jute was imported from Bengal by the British East India Company.  British Jute Barons grew rich processing jute and selling manufactured products made from jute.  Dundee Jute Barons and the British East India Company began to set up jute mills in Bengal and by 1895 jute industries in Bengal overtook the Scottish jute trade.  Many Scots emigrated to Bengal to set up jute factories.  More than a billion jute sandbags were exported from Bengal to the trenches during World War I and even more during WWII and also exported to the Americas, especially the United States southern region to bag cotton and coffee.  It was used in the fishing, construction, art and in the arms industry.  India, China, Thailand, Myanmar also produce Jute in low quantities.  India is one of the largest importers of Jute in South Asia and also produces processed jute products in the world, while Bangladesh is the largest producer and exporter of raw jute.  Therefore, the local price of raw jute in Bangladesh is the international price.  Ironically, the local price of jute goods produced in India set their own price.
