Stock with eagle vignette printed by Franklin Lee Division - American Bank Note Co. The Brown Company, referred to as the Brown Corporation in Canada, was a pulp and papermaking enterprise located in Berlin, New Hampshire, United States. It ceased operations during the 1980s. In 1852, a consortium of businessmen from Portland, Maine—John B. Brown, Josiah S. Little, Nathan Winslow, and Hezekiah Winslow—acquired and established a substantial sawmill on the site known as the "Thomas Green Privilege" at the head of Berlin Falls in Berlin, New Hampshire. In 1854, they broadened their activities by building the H. Winslow & Company branch railway to connect with the Grand Trunk Railway, and in 1858, they constructed a dam along with a gristmill.
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.
