shown to make excursion into the
field of practice, that he finally, in the
spring of 1887, joined forces with
others in originating the Western
Engineering Company."
"After the initial work in Nebraska
and other Western States had de
veloped considerable proportions,
overtures, were made by Eastern in
terests which resulted in the Western
Engineering Co. being sold to the
Edison-United Manufacturing Co.,
and Mr. White came to New York
to take charge of the department of
Electrical Railway Installation cover
ing the entire United States in the
consolidated organization. However,
the formation of the Edison-General
Electric Co. followed soon after Mr.
White's association with the Edi
son-United Manufacturing Co., and
Mr. White resigned to develop an en
gineering and contracting busiriess of
his own under the firm name of J. G.
White & Co."
"In association with 0. T. Crosby,
now of Washington, Mr. White
formed the White-Crosby Co., which
continued until 1897 when the former
name of J. G. White & Co. was
adopted for the corporation then
formed under the laws of the State of
New York."
-In 1900, after having carried out
from the New York office and by
several previous trips to London, a
considerable amount of engineering
in Australia, Mr. White established
an office in London, organizing for
this purpose the English company,
known as J. G. White & Co., Ltd."
"The international scope of the
work now being carried out by the
companies of which Mr. White is the
directing force, may be better appre
ciated by stating that contracts in
Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Arizona,
the Philippines, Australia, India,
France, Holland, and London have
been completed within the past year,
or are now in force."

"The White organization consists of
a number of companies independently
organized, but closely allied. Of
these, J. G. White & Co., Inc., of
New York, may be regarded as the
parent company. The development
