Established in 1842: Why Everything is Older Than You Thought.
There was a time, long ago... roughly 2007, when businesses were content to simply exist. You sold bagels, you put a sign on the door, and that was that. No origin myth. No fake Latin motto. No logo featuring an eagle wearing monocles. But those days are long gone.
