The roots of General Motors do indeed go deeper. J. B. Armstrong Co, LTD, of Guelph, Ontario, founded in 1835, was a maker of sleighs, buggies, and other horse drawn vehicles and renowned for the excellent quality of their products.
At the turn of the century, they relocated their headquarters to Dearborn, Michigan and were either absorbed by or evolved into General Motors Corporation.
In 1970, to be specific, possibly at other times, GM was not only the largest employer of citizens in the United States, but also the entire world.
