GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give a place in your collection to the PaineWebber story, which began in Boston in 1880 and unfolded through a century of change in American finance. The firm moved its headquarters to New York, broadened its business through acquisitions, and joined UBS in 2000; by 2003, its name had been replaced by UBS Wealth Management USA. This ornament offers a compact tribute to corporate history for collectors, former clients, and admirers of enduring business names.
Founded in Boston in 1880 by William A. Paine and Wallace G. Webber, the brokerage began as Paine & Webber and leased offices at 48 Congress Street in 1881. It became Paine, Webber & Co. when Charles H. Paine joined the partnership, and acquired a New York Stock Exchange seat in 1890. The firm entered investment banking in the 1920s. In 1942, it merged with Boston firm Jackson & Curtis, becoming Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis. The company moved its headquarters to New York in 1963; its holding company, PaineWebber Inc., was incorporated in 1969 and went public in 1974. Acquisitions expanded its services and reach, including Blyth, Eastman Dillon & Co. in 1979 and Kidder, Peabody & Co. in 1995. In 1984, divisions combined under the PaineWebber Inc. name, with PaineWebber Group Inc. established as parent. After acquiring J.C. Bradford & Co. in April 2000, the firm completed a $10.8 billion cash-and-stock merger with Zurich-based UBS on November 3, 2000. The business was initially called UBS PaineWebber; in 2003, the PaineWebber name was replaced by UBS Wealth Management USA.
