Wilson Sporting Goods est l'un des plus grands fabricants de gants de baseball aux \u00c9tats-Unis, mais beaucoup ignorent que l'entreprise a \u00e9t\u00e9 fond\u00e9e par un Canadien.<\/span><\/p>

Thomas E. Wilson was born in London, Ontario in 1868, then moved to Chicago at the age of nine. A railroad worker who had risen to become the president of one of Chicago\u2019s many meatpacking companies, Thomas took the reins of Sulzberger and Sons in 1916 at the urging of the company\u2019s financiers in order to save it from collapse. Sultzbeger and Sons was another meatpacking corporation, but had expanded into goods made from its animal byproducts, such as surgical sutures and footballs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Under the new banner of Wilson & Company, Thomas renamed its athletic gear subsidiary as Thos. E. Wilson & Company. Together with the newly appointed Sports Division President Lawrence B. Icey, Thomas focused on making the subsidiary a leading sports brand. Thos. E. Wilson & Company had the distinct advantage of being able to use the \u201cwaste\u201d produced by its parent corporation as its raw materials, which meant it could create products faster and cheaper than its competitors. The leather used to make baseball gloves was one such byproduct.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
