A Bellwether History of Odd Jobs and Long Hauls

摘要

The story of the ceorge Young Group, a Philadelphia-based transport, rigging and millwrighting firm, begins at a poker table somewhere in the City of Brotherly Love in 1869. Charles Young, the current company president's great-granduncle, bet the first incarnation of the company on a losing hand during a poker match against his brother George. Charles lost the bet and George acquired the company, marking the beginning of the George Young Co., a moniker the firm has retained through four generations of sons for nearly 150 years.
