History- (from Wikipedia) Enos M. Barton and Elisha Gray owned an electrical engineering business in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1872 they moved the business to Chicago and incorporated it as the Western Electric Manufacturing Company. They manufactured a variety of electrical products including typewriters, alarms, and lighting and had a close relationship with the pany Western Union to whom they supplied relays and other equipment. In 1879 a battle over patent rights, between Western Union and the Bell Telephone Company ended with Western Union withdrawing from the telephone market and Bell acquiring Western Electric.
