Biography"It all began in 1935, when Donald Mazer, a sports enthusiast and game lover, and Charles Berlsheimer, a businessman and investor, teamed up to form their own game company. They called the company "CADACO," an acronym for "Charles and Don and Company." Their first office was modest: a rented garage in San Leandro, California...In 1937, Mazer married Eleanor Ellis, bought out Berlsheimer, and the name of the company was changed to CADACO-ELLIS. That same year the company moved to Chicago, where offices were established in the spacious Merchandise Mart on the Chicago River...Jules Abramson, founder and premier president of Rapid, bought CADACO-ELLIS in 1964, and Bolton was again named general manager as the company name reverted back to CADACO."--https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/553/cadaco
