for Selchow & Righter
Selchow & Righter
It dates back to 1867[1] when it was founded as E. G. Selchow & Co. In 1880, to reflect his new partnership with John Righter, the company name was changed to Selchow and Righter.[2] Games were also produced by Chaffee & Selchow, particularly between 1897 and 1902. Until the mid-twentieth century Selchow and Righter was considered a ""jobber"", a game company that produced and licensed other peoples' games. Under the leadership of John Righter's daughter, Harriet T. Righter, who was the company's president from 1923 to 1954, Selchow and Righter began manufacturing games, and put more emphasis on advertising and marketing campaigns.[3]...In 1989 Coleco declared bankruptcy and its primary assets were purchased by Hasbro for US$85,000,000 (equivalent to $175,316,779 in 2019) in cash, plus options to buy one million shares of Hasbro stock at a price of US$28.85 (equivalent to $59.5 in 2019) (at the time the deal closed, Hasbro stock was worth only US$20 (equivalent to $41.25 in 2019) a share).[10]""--Wikipedia"
