The Victor Manufacturing and Gasket Company was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1909. They specialized in manufacturing gaskets for automobiles as well as oil seals. In 1966 it was purchased by the Dana Corporation.

A precursor to the bill hook and money clip was the draft organizer of 323 BCE Mesopotamia, used to hold notes detailing grain storage. A similar invention akin to a large paperclip came from Japan in 300 CE. Bill holders evolved with European currency to clip bills to the owners clothing and discourage pickpocketing. American money clips came into fashion in the early 1900s.

Provident National Bank was officially founded in 1957 when Provident Trust Company of Philadelphia and Provident Tradesmens Bank & Trust Company merged. The Provident Trust Company has roots dating back to 1922 in a parent company called Provident Life & Trust Company which itself dates back to 1865. Originally the Provident Life & Trust Company was founded by Quakers and informally referred to as "The Quaker Bank". 

In 1983 the company took on its modern incarnation when Pittsburgh National Bank and Provident National Bank merged. With this merger PNC Financial Corp. or as it is commonly known "PNC" was born. PNC was one of the first banks to introduce a credit card, and was one of the first and main users of online banking.

Petri Wine was the main product produced by Raphael Petri's "Petri Wine Company". The company was founded in 1896 in the San Joanquin Valley.In an effort to expand production a second vineyard was added to the company in 1916. This new vineyard was located in Escalon North of Modesto. More members of the family joined into the company as Raphael's grandson, Louis Petri, joined in 1935. 

In 1944 Louis Petri became president of the company and rapid expansion began to occur under new leadership. Petri wines began purchasing companies and Louis Petri incorporated Petri Wine Company into a wine conglomerate he created called Allied Grape Growers. Through the 1950s, Petri's wine company held a ever growing market share and in 1968 publicly sold the company to Heublein. In 1982 Heublein was sold to the R.J Reynolds Tobacco Company that would eventually merge and become incorporated into Nabisco.

The land and grape that produced Raphael's original wine is not lost though - in 2003 Bronco Wine Company purchase the 1916 expansion vineyard and from that produces over 60 kinds of wine (some of which are stocked in the low end at Trader Joe's).
