Wells-Garner Electronics Corporation

Business History
  • Wells-Gardner Electronics Corporation has been
    continuously in business since its incorporation
    in 1925 in Illinois. The Company has traded
    publicly on the American Stock Exchange since
    1945 under the symbol WGA.
  • During one period following World War II,
    Wells-Gardner made 3 of all TVs sold in America.
    The Company bounced back from the Japanese
    aggressive inroads in those markets by
    capitalizing on the explosive growth in the video
    arcade market, by selling 100 million worth of
    monitors for Pac-Man.
  • During these shifts in consumer preference and
    international marketing, and because of them, the
    Company subscribed to a leaner, customer-driven
    philosophy. The company also developed a
    Best-in-Class engineering expertise capable of
    quickly responding to a customers needs for ISO
    9001 video monitors in many sizes for many uses.

EarthLink, Inc.

Business History
  • First Quarter 2004 Highlights
  • EarthLink's performance in the first quarter
    reflects the company's continued focus on
    profitable growth and outstanding customer
    service. Benefiting from greater operational
    efficiencies and improving telecommunications
    services costs, EarthLink generated strong
    customer growth as it strengthened its position
    in the value priced and broadband markets.
  • In particular, EarthLink made significant
    inroads in the broadband arena by signing an
    expanded Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) agreement
    with Verizon, launching DSL service in Qwest's
    territories, and teaming up with Progress Energy
    to conduct a limited Broadband over Power Line
    (BPL) trial in North Carolina. EarthLink was also
    encouraged by the March 31, 2004 decision by the
    United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
    Circuit not to revisit its earlier ruling that
    cable modem service contains a telecommunications
    service. If upheld, this decision will help open
    cable broadband networks to competition, thus
    enabling EarthLink to offer high speed service
    over additional cable networks.

What's Important to EarthLink?
  • We respect the individual, and believe that
    individuals who are treated with respect and
    given responsibility respond by giving their
    best.
  • We require complete honesty and integrity in
    everything we do.
  • We make commitments with care, and then live up
    to them. In all things, we do what we say we are
    going to do.
  • Work is an important part of life, and it should
    be fun. Being a good businessperson does not mean
    being stuffy and boring.
  • We love to compete, and we believe that
    competition brings out the best in us.
  • We are frugal. We guard and conserve the
    company's resources with at least the same
    vigilance that we would use to guard and conserve
    our own personal resources.
  • We insist on giving our best effort in everything
    we undertake. Furthermore, we see a huge
    difference between "good mistakes" (best effort,
    bad result) and "bad mistakes" (sloppiness or
    lack of effort).
  • Clarity in understanding our mission, our goals,
    and what we expect from each other is critical to
    our success.
  • We are believers in the Golden Rule. In all our
    dealings we will strive to be friendly and
    courteous, as well as fair and compassionate.
  • We feel a sense of urgency on any matters related
    to our customers. We own problems and we are
    always responsive. We are customer-driven.
