C. R. Bard was founded in 1907 by Charles R. Bard as an importer of Gomenol, a medication used to treat urinary discomfort.
In 1928 Bard sold the company to John F. Willits and Edson L. Outwin, who expanded the business by selling the Foley catheter in 1934 and the American Woven Catheter in 1940.

Products include stents, catheters for delivering chemotherapy treatments, urology catheters, specialty surgical tools, and guidewires used in angioplasties and other vascular procedures.

Can you please tell me who I have to talk about retiring from Bard?
I am having a hard time getting information on when my shares were bought and what the purchase price was at the time of purchase. I need this information for tax purposes as I may sell them at some time due to the fact that I am now going to be 65 soon.any kind of information would be greatly appreciated. the sooner the better!
