UPS

UPS started in 1907 when two teenage entrepreneurs had an idea to create a package delivery service. Claud Ryan and Jim Casey opened the American Messager Company in a basement with just a 100-dollar loan. As the company began to grow and become more popular, the began to expand beyond Seattle to Oakland. They then named the company United Parcel Service. The decided to use the color brown for the company's trucks and uniforms. The color represents class, sophistication, and professionalism. They then expanded to the east coast and then further across the country. To expand their company even more UPS started using airfare to transfer their mail in a quicker and more efficient fashion. By doing this they were able to reach places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
