| Abstract | Simon and Carl Halbig joined forces to establish a porcelain factory. The elder partner, Wilhelm Simon, was an established toy maker from Hildburghausen. He would bring experience and fi nancial backing to the partnership. The 30-year-old Carl Halbig was a visionary who would bring a set of high standards for quality and effi cient methods of production to the new company. 1869 was a year of signifi cant accomplishments for business and industry around the world. In the United States, Ulysses Grant succeeded Andrew Johnson as the 18th President of the US. The Civil War was over and the fi rst railroad across North America was completed with the driving of the “golden spike” at Promontory, Utah. In Egypt, the Suez Canal was inaugurated, linking the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. These changes in transportation and shipping would have profound effects on trade. In the literary world, the work of Louisa May Alcott shared the shelf with that of Mark Twain, Victor Hugo, Horatio Alger and Leo Tolstoy. P.T. Barnum wrote his autobiography “Struggles and Triumphs” and John Stuart Mill wrote the controversial “Subjection of Women.” |
