John Company Slang

• See also: Hudson's Bay Company  

  • 1870  
    John Company once owned a very large firm
    Extending from sea to sea,
    Where he drove his own curs, and traded in furs--
    A very rich man was he, was he
    A monopolist was he.
  • 1963  John Company is still--like Johnny Walker--going strong, and the old class guides are getting fewer.
