Globe-Trotter
Globe-Trotter is a British manufacturer of luxury luggage, based in Mayfair, founded in 1897. History Globe-Trotter traces its history to 1897 when the Sächsische Kofferfabrik "Stabilist" (Stabilist Saxon Trunk Manufactory) Friedr. Jone & Co. was founded in Dresden, Kingdom of Saxony. In 1900, the company registered the name "Stabilist" at the Imperial Patent Office, Berlin. At this stage, it was using woven mesh plates eflechtsplattento produce suitcases, travel bags and other cases. Many of the contemporary German case-makers also used this material: although it was praised for its lightness, it was neither durable nor hard-wearing. In 1901, Globe-Trotter patented the use of Vulcanised Fibreboard in their suitcases, a material consisting of paper, cotton and wood pulp. The use of Vulcanised Fibreboard was one of the main characteristics that distinguished Globe-Trotter suitcases in the early days due to the strength and durability of the suitcases despite their light w ...

Harlem Globetrotters
The Harlem Globetrotters are an American exhibition basketball team. They combine athleticism, theater, and comedy in their style of play. Created in 1926 by Tommy Brookins in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name ''Harlem'' because of its connotations as a major African-American community. Over the years, they have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 124 countries and territories, mostly against deliberately ineffective opponents, such as the Washington Generals (1953–1995, since 2015) and the New York Nationals (1995–2015). The team's signature song is Brother Bones' whistled version of "Sweet Georgia Brown", and their mascot is an anthropomorphized globe named "Globie". The team is owned by Herschend Family Entertainment. History The Globetrotters originated on the South Side of Chicago in 1926, where all the original players were raised. The Globetrotters began as the Savoy Big Five, one of the premier attractions of the Savoy Ballroom, opened in January ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
