Bring a piece of financial history to the course with A. G. Becker golf balls. The Chicago firm rose from commercial paper roots and became a major dealer before expanding into brokerage and underwriting. Its 1911 underwriting for Hart Schaffner & Marx marked an early milestone, while later partnerships and acquisitions reflected finance’s increasingly international reach. For collectors, golfers and business history fans, this product connects a familiar course pastime with a company whose identity changed alongside the securities industry.
A. G. Becker & Co. was a Chicago investment bank whose roots reach back to the 1880s commercial paper trade. In 1893, Abraham G. Becker took control of Herbert Schaffner & Co., a Chicago commercial paper business that had failed during the Panic of 1893, and established his own firm with $50,000 from a life insurance policy. By 1904, he had repaid the losses suffered by the former customers. The firm became a leading U.S. commercial paper dealer, then expanded into stock and bond brokerage and underwriting. Its first underwriting, for Hart Schaffner & Marx, was completed in 1911. By 1919, it had offices in New York City, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle. In 1974, Becker joined a U.S. venture with London-based S.G. Warburg and Paris-based Paribas, operating as A.G. Becker-Warburg Paribas Becker. After Warburg's interest was bought out in 1983, the firm became A.G. Becker Paribas. Paribas took full control in 1984 and sold Becker's correspondent business to Pershing LLC that May. In August, Merrill Lynch acquired the remaining investment banking and securities businesses.
