It all started with $100 I borrowed from a friend. At the time (1907) Seattle’s growth was doubling but few homes had phones and cross-town communication often required a messenger. Along with friends and his brother George, this company was run in a basement. His company did well because of strict policies: customer courtesy, reliability, round-the-clock service, and low rates. These principles still guide this company today. In more than 200 countries with nearly 150,000 vehicles, and some 600 planes what 30 billion dollar company am I?

You are referring to the company FedEx, founded by Frederick W. Smith in 1971.
