Gulf States Utilities Company

Gulf States Utilities Company was incorporated in August, 1925 in Texas to provide electric energy, gas, water and ice to the public. The firm’s first gas-fired electric generating plant, known as the Neches Station, was built on the banks of the Neches River in Beaumont. By the end of the 1920s, Kenneth Sutton, an employee, created the cartoon character Aleck Tricity, a forerunner of syndicated cartoon character Reddy Kilowatt, who appeared in 1928. The company continued to grow throughout the Great Depression and merged with and acquired numerous companies.

By 1975 the firm served more than 400,000 customers in a 28,000 square mile area from southeast Texas to south Louisiana. The company moved to new headquarters in Beaumont’s Edison Plaza office tower in 1979. By the early 1990s the company was an investor-owned public electric-utility company that generated, transmitted and distributed electric power derived from gas, coal and nuclear sources to more than 578,000 customers from central Texas to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The firm also sold electricity wholesale to municipalities and rural electric cooperatives in both states; supplied steam and electricity to industry; and operated a natural gas retail distribution system that served 85,000 customers. In 1992 Gulf States merged with Entergy Corporation, a utilities company based in New Orleans.

Collectible Cuba Railroad Stock

This collectible Cuba Railroad stock is signed by Van Horne as president of the Cuba Railroad Co. Van Horne built the Canadian-Pacific Railway. He also built the Cuba Railroad. Born in 1843 he moved with his family to Joliet, Illinois when he was eight years old.

Van Horne began working on railroads in 1857, serving in various capacities on the Michigan Central Railway until 1864, then for the Chicago and Alton Railway for whom he served as the general superintendent from 1878 to 1879. In 1882 he was appointed general manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway and in 1884 became its vice-president. Rising to president in 1888, he is most famous for overseeing the major construction of the first Canadian transcontinental Railway.

Van Horne considered the railway an integrated communications and transportation system and convinced the directors and shareholders to create a telegraph service and an express freight delivery service as a complement to the railway. Van Horne was knowledgeable in nearly every element of the railway industry, including operating a locomotive. A wealthy man, he later became a shareholder of the Cuba Railroad Company. He was also responsible for launching the sea transport division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, inaugurating a regular service between Vancouver and Hong Kong in 1891 on the Empress luxury liners. And finally, he presided over the expansion of the CPR in the luxury hotel business and participated in the design of two of the most famous buildings in the chain, the Château Frontenac in Quebec City and Chateau Lake Louise in Alberta.

Van Horne served as a governor of McGill University from 1895 to 1915 and was one of the first in Canada to acquire artworks by members of the French impressionist movement. He built the Van Horne Mansion in Montreal and a large summer estate which he named "Covenhoven" on Minister's Island, adjacent to CPR's resort town of St. Andrews, New Brunswick. The island estate still exists today. Following Van Horne's death in Montreal, Quebec in 1915 at the age of 72, his remains were interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Joliet, Illinois. The certificate is beautifully engraved by American Bank Note Co.
