Stix Baer & Fuller
__NOTOC__ Stix, Baer and Fuller (sometimes called "Stix" or SBF or the Grand-Leader) was a department store chain in St. Louis, Missouri that operated from 1892 to 1984. Founders and History Originally called the Grand-Leader, the original central downtown store was located on the north side of Washington Avenue between Sixth and Seventh street and by 1920 had grown to encompass the entire city block. The store was founded in 1892 by Charles Stix, brothers Julius Baer and Sigmond Baer, and Aaron Fuller. It was a public company, with its stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The company was a longtime member of the American Merchandising Companies ("AMC"), a trade association of important, locally owned department stores across the United States. For many years the company was known as the leading high-end fashion store in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, although a smaller competitor, Scruggs, Vandervoort and Barney, also vied for that position.

Sam Bankman-Fried
Samuel Benjamin Bankman-Fried (born March 6, 1992), also known by the initialism SBF, is an American suspected fraudster, entrepreneur, investor, and former billionaire. Bankman-Fried was the founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX and associated trading firm Alameda Research, both of which experienced a high-profile collapse resulting in chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2022. Prior to FTX's collapse, Bankman-Fried was ranked the 41st richest American in the '' Forbes 400'', and the 60th richest person in world by '' The World's Billionaires''. His net worth peaked at $26 billion. By November 11, 2022, amid the bankruptcy of FTX, the '' Bloomberg Billionaires Index'' considered his net worth to have been reduced to zero. Before his wealth had evaporated, Bankman-Fried was a major donor to political campaigns, donating mostly to Democratic candidates (while unverifiably claiming to have channeled "dark money" to Republican candidates) and claimed that he planned to sp ...

Grumman XSBF
The Grumman XSBF, also known by the company designation G-14, was an American biplane scout bomber developed by Grumman Aircraft for the United States Navy during the 1930s. Derived from Grumman's successful "Fifi" fighter, the aircraft was developed at a time when the biplane was giving way to the monoplane. In competition against other aircraft it proved to possess inferior performance in its intended role, and did not enter production. The sole prototype went on to serve as a liaison aircraft, as well as being used in experiments by NACA, before being destroyed in a crash in 1939. Design and development In late 1934, the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) issued a specification for new scout bomber and torpedo bomber designs.Dann 1996, p.20. Eight companies submitted 10 designs in response, evenly split between monoplanes and biplanes.Doll 1992, p.4. Grumman, having successfully provided the FF and F2F fighters to the Navy, along with the SF scout, submitted an ad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
