By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York-fflPD-Lost in the background of today's chang ing business scene are those companies whose history par allel the development of our nation. Of all the streets in New York the one most likely to present an historical atmos phere of solidity and tradition is Wall Street. Servicing this financial community is the oldest busi ness establishment operating under the same name since its founding in New York, and one of the oldest in America -Bowne and Co., printing firm. This historic firm was es tablished by Robert Bowne and two associates in 1775 and, in addition to printing, offered for sale, according to an advertisement of the day: "Writing paper, English and American; account books: quills and pens; binding and printing materials; bolting cloths; powder, furs, nails, glass and dry goods; pitch pine boards and a few cases of low priced cutlery." Bowne prospered in his new enterprise, but was forced to leave his business and New York in 1776 in the wake of General Howe's troops. After the war he returned to find the area below Wall Street a charred ruin, but he and oth ers rebuilt the community. And it was at this time that the founder decided to give up his wide selection of merchan dise and specialize in printing supplies and printing. Bowe became typical of the 18th Century New York busi nessman. Successful with his printing business, he turned his efforts to piiilanlhropy, and helped organize a free school and the New York hos pital. He also helped organize the city's first bank - the Bank of New York. The first checks issued bear the imprint of Bowne and Co., printers to the financial community. ' When Bowne died n 1818, he and the company he had founded had become an in tegral part of New York and the young nation. As his sons and their sons took over, its history paralleled that of Wall Street and the nation. Economist Selected As Council Chairman Palm Beach, Kla. - IVP1I -President-elect John. F.
