Celebrate a distinctive chapter in financial history with an ornament honoring Dean Witter Reynolds. The company joined Dean Witter & Co., founded in San Francisco, with Reynolds Securities, founded in New York City, in a landmark 1978 merger. Its later story includes nationwide expansion, Sears ownership, the launch of Discover Card, and its combination with Morgan Stanley. A thoughtful keepsake for collectors who value Wall Street heritage and the changing names of American business.
Dean Witter Reynolds brought together two American securities firms: Dean Witter & Co., founded in San Francisco in 1924, and Reynolds Securities, founded in New York City in 1931. Their 1978 merger formed Dean Witter Reynolds Organization Inc., then described as the largest securities-industry merger in U.S. history. The firm expanded across the country and, in 1979, became the first securities firm with offices in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Sears acquired it in 1981. Under Sears, the business launched Discover Card in 1986. Sears spun off the company in 1993, when it took the name Dean Witter, Discover & Co.; its headquarters were in New York City's World Trade Center. In 1997, it merged with Morgan Stanley to form Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Discover Co. The combined company dropped “Discover Co.” from its name in 1998 and “Dean Witter” in 2001. In 2009, Dean Witter's retail operations were transferred to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, a joint venture with Citigroup. Its history spans retail brokerage, investment banking, asset management, and consumer credit.
