Having just gone through
the
drama of the "One Island, One City" merger
we thought you might
appreciate
the following:
..........................................
A number of years
ago there was a proposed merger between
Fairchild
Electronics
and Honeywell Computers.
Rumor had it that
the new company would be called
Fairwell
Honeychild.
.
There is a merger
in the works involving Polygram Records,
Warner Bros. and
Keebler. It will be called
Poly-Warner-Cracker.
.
There has long been
a rumor that W. R. Grace Co. was going to buy
the Fuller Brush
Co. and Mary Kay Cosmetics and then merge
with the Hale
Business Systems.
This would result
in the new mega-corporation
Hale Mary Fuller
Grace.
.
Don't forget the
failed merger between Yahoo and Netscape:
Net'n'Yahoo.
It didn't work out because they were afraid they
would have to
relocate
the headquarters to Tel Aviv.
