EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, circa 1910, showcases a group of Adams Express Company couriers proudly displaying their uniforms while on a delivery route in the United States. Founded in the 1830s and reorganized as Adams Express in 1854, this American delivery company played a significant role in the country's history. In response to a robbery, the company hired Allan Pinkerton, who went on to establish the renowned Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Adams Express Company once held substantial shares in American Express and various railways. However, in 1929, the company made a significant shift from the delivery trade and transformed into a closed-end fund, trading on the Wall Street Exchange under the symbol NY-ADX. With a market capitalization of approximately $1 billion, the company continues to thrive in the financial sector. The couriers in this image embody the spirit of dedication and service that defined Adams Express Company throughout its rich history. Their uniforms, adorned with the company insignia, symbolize the connection between the past and the present, as well as the company's commitment to efficient and reliable logistics services across the states. This photograph serves as a testament to the company's enduring legacy and its continued relevance in the American business landscape.
