Davre Davidson was born in Portland, Oregon, in 1912. In 1936, he started a vending business with Charlotte, his wife. They kept the books at their kitchen table and their warehouse was effectively the trunk of their 1932 Dodge. The first week they were in business, they posted profits of $7.56. Not long after that, Davre landed the fledgling company's first big client, Douglas Aircraft. Twenty-three years later, Davre joined with Bill Fishman to form ARA Services. Together, their company posted revenues of $37 million in 1959. Under Davre's leadership, the company grew to revenues of more than $5 billion. After 16 years as CEO, he retired in 1977. Davre passed away in 1995, bringing to a close a life of humble leadership and service. Read more at https://www.aramark.com/about-us/our-difference/leadership/our-founder-davre-davidson
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
