Selected histories supplied by Geno Gruber, who consulted with all 13 businesses. Figures are start/end snapshots, not annual time series. Active companies’ ending figures refer to 2026. Market size describes the market, not company size. Revenue uses the left dollar axis; Net Profit uses the right. The bars overlap slightly and both axes share zero. Scales differ between revenue and profit, and between companies: compare the labeled dollar amounts rather than bar heights. Red bars show losses. Sold-for stamps show sale prices, separate from revenue and Net Profit. These examples do not establish typical results or guarantee future performance.
