Merger Mania
A number of years ago there was a proposed merger between Fairchild
Electronics and Honeywell Computers. Rumor had it that the new company would
be called Fairwell Honeychild.
There is a merger in the works involving Polygram Records, Warner Bros. and
Keebler. It will be called Poly-Warner-Cracker.
There has long been a rumor that W. R. Grace Co. was going to buy the Fuller
Brush Co. and Mary Kay Cosmetics and then merge with the Hale Business
Systems. This would result in the new mega-corporation Hale Mary Fuller
Grace.
Don't forget the failed merger between Yahoo and Netscape: Net'n'Yahoo. It
didn't work out because they were afraid they would have to relocate the
headquarters to Tel Aviv.
