Founding Dates of the 1994 Fortune 500 U.S. Companies
作为百年庆典的一部分，Harris调查了1994年《财富》500强公司的成立日期、初始名称及产品服务，并邀请多位历史学家审阅，认为该汇编是潜在有价值的研究工具。
As part of its centennial celebration, Harris commissioned a historical survey of the 1994 list of Fortune 500 companies, inquiring as to when they were founded and what their initial names, products, or services were. Harris then sent this list to several historians, including Professor Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. and the editor of this Review. We believe the Harris compilation to be a potentially valuable research tool. We are pleased to present it here, along with the following brief introduction, which is a composite of observations by the Harris researchers, Professor Chandler, and the Editor and Assistant Editor of the Review.
