Show your interest in a notable name in American finance with this A. G. Becker Men's Sport Polo Shirt. Founded in Chicago after Abraham G. Becker took control of a troubled commercial paper business in 1893, the firm repaid former customers by 1904 and went on to expand into brokerage and underwriting. Its path from an independent bank to European partnership and acquisition offers a distinctive conversation starter for those drawn to corporate history and the evolution of securities markets.
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.
