GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Take the story of PaineWebber along on your journeys with a passport cover inspired by American financial history. Founded in Boston in 1880, the brokerage expanded over the years, moved its headquarters to New York, and entered investment banking. A merger with UBS in 2000 brought the business into a new era, while the PaineWebber name was replaced by UBS Wealth Management USA in 2003. An appealing travel keepsake for collectors drawn to enduring brands and the evolution of finance.
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.
