It's Not About Me

• Matchbook Covers: Well, before the cigarette lighter, we had books of matches with advertising on them. This is another collection where I need to spend some time getting these items cataloged.

• Thomas & Betts Collectibles: T&B was founded in 1898 in Elizabeth, NJ but acquired American Electric and moved its corporate headquarters to Memphis, TN in 1993. Today, T&B is now owned by ABB. I worked for American Electric and T&B and ABB for 23 years; it is interesting to know how companies prospered and grew in their early days.
