GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Bring a piece of Wall Street history along for the ride with a Lehman Brothers car coaster. The design draws on a name that began with an 1844 Montgomery dry-goods store, grew through cotton trading and New York finance, and became part of the visual language of global investment banking. A conversation-starting accent for commuters, collectors, finance professionals, and anyone interested in the corporate history surrounding 2008.
Lehman Brothers began in Montgomery, Alabama, where Hayum Lehmann, later known as Henry Lehman, opened the H. Lehman dry-goods store in 1844. After brothers Emanuel and Mayer joined, the business became Lehman Brothers in 1850. The firm accepted cotton as payment and developed a cotton-trading operation; after Henry died in 1855, Emanuel and Mayer continued the business. A New York branch opened at 119 Liberty Street in 1858, and the headquarters later moved to New York City. Lehman helped found the New York Cotton Exchange in 1870, joined the New York Stock Exchange in 1887, and underwrote its first public offering in 1899. It merged with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. in 1977, was acquired by Shearson/American Express in 1984, and returned to independence as Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. through a 1994 spin-off. The firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 15, 2008. Barclays acquired major North American investment-banking and trading operations, while Nomura acquired regional franchise businesses in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East.
