Anheuser-Busch Brewery Eberhard Anheuser purchased a struggling St. Louis brewery in 1860 and renamed it E. Anheuser and Co. He soon met Adolphus and introduced him to his daughter, Lilly. A year later, Adolphus Busch married Lilly Anheuser and in 1864 joined his father-in-law's brewery as a salesman, later becoming a partner and finally president of the company. Seeking to improve the brewery's products, Adolphus traveled extensively throughout Europe studying various brewing techniques, and in 1869, he purchased half ownership in the brewery. In a land of local brews, young Busch dreamed of a national beer that would appeal to every taste. In 1876, he and his friend, Carl Conrad, created Budweiser—using time-consuming, traditional methods and only the finest barley malt, hops, and rice. Budweiser was a lager beer that succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. The company was renamed Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association in 1879, and Adolphus became president the following year. He continued as president for 33 years and is considered to be the founder of our company.

GATEWAY Founded in 1985 in an Iowa farmhouse, Gateway has grown into one of America's best known brands with millions of satisfied customers. Starting with a $10,000 loan guaranteed by his grandmother, a rented computer and a three-page business plan, Ted Waitt turned Gateway into a revolutionary company whose innovations helped shape the technology industry.The company - previously called Gateway 2000 - received national acclaim in 1991 when it introduced its distinctive cow-spotted boxes, a tribute to its farm heritage. In 1993, it cracked the Fortune 500 and went public, trading on the NASDAQ before moving to the New York Stock Exchange in 1997. The following year, Gateway shifted its headquarters from North Sioux City, South Dakota to the San Diego area. Gateway is now the third largest PC company in the U.S. and among the top ten worldwide. The company's value-based eMachines brand is sold exclusively by leading retailers worldwide, while the premium Gateway line is available at major retailers, over the phone and web, and through its direct sales force.

Lucas Controls We are a small company in NC who build and manufacture different types of controls and control panels which aren't normally found on the market. We specialize in air handling in the crawl space of buildings and have put together a pretty neat system which you can install or let an electrician install it for you. The price is very low compared to the damage which can occur is you do not treat your crawlspace with proper respect. I found this out the hard way by spending $20,000.00 under my house replacing timbers after only 14 years of use. This inspired me to design a system which would protect your house 365 days a year without you having to fiddle around with it. After all, why spend another $20 grand in 14 more years.
