On April 22, 1969, the Baylis brothers transferred ownership of their company to the prominent conglomerate, U.S. Industries, Inc., which, following significant expansion during the 1960s, began to divest its assets in the 1980s. Upon the sale, The Baylis Brothers Co. rebranded as T.B.B. Co. and allocated nearly all of its assets to U.S. Industries.
In 1995, U.S. Industries, Inc. acquired E-J, subsequently renaming it EJ Footwear Corp. and relocating its headquarters to Franklin, Tennessee. In 2000, EJ Footwear was acquired by Citicorp Venture Capital Ltd., a subsidiary of Citigroup.
Stock and Bond Specimens are made and usually retained by a printer as a record of the contract with a client, generally with manuscript contract notes such as the quantity printed. Specimens are sometimes produced for use by the printing company's sales team as examples of the firm’s products. These are usually marked "Specimen" and have no serial numbers.
