How is it possible that a subsidiary of a company was formed earlier than its parent?

That's what I want to know, but who has the answer?

That happens when one company is about to go belly up..and gets purchased by another company, but still maintains it's own operations seperate from most of the coroprate operations of the parent.

It happens all the time. A common example is when a company "goes public" by way of a reverse takeover. A privately held company wants to become listed on an exchange, so it has a publicly trading "shell" company take it over. The shell company is renamed so that it has a similar name to the company that was taken over, which becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the public company. Fluit 21:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

lunch counter segregation

In 1953-54 in Kansas City, Kansas the F.W. Woolworth store on Minnesota Avenue did have two lunch counters. One on the side of the store and one in the back. They were segregated. Now, do you consider Kansas to be a southern state? I don't think Kansas was or is considered to be anything but northern. Just want to get the facts correct. Justify August 7, 2006.

In popular culture

In 1986, Nanci Griffith released a touching ode (particularly the interspersed monologue) to her home-town Austin, TX Woolworth's, "Love at the Five and Dime" on Last of the True Believers. (Also included in a number of later releases.)[1]-69.87.204.251 14:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
