FIRST NFT TENNIS RACKETS COLLECTION
Thomas E. Wilson & Co. ``Leviathan`` (Pre 1930)
The company traces its roots to the “Schwarzschild & Sulzberger” meatpacking company (later changed to “Sulzberger & Son’s”) based in New York, which operated meat-packing slaughterhouses.
In 1915, Thomas E. Wilson, former president of meatpacker Morris & Company, was appointed president by the controlling banks and renamed the company “Thomas E. Wilson Company”
Sulzberger & Son’s founded the “Ashland Manufacturing Company” in 1913 to use animal by-products from its slaughterhouses. It started out in 1914, making tennis racket strings, violin strings, and surgical sutures, but soon expanded into baseball shoes and tennis racquets.
