AARP Corporate Office

The AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) was founded in 1958 in Ojai, California, by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus. After establishing the National Retired Teachers Association in 1948, Andrus decided to open up her organization to all Americans 10 years later.

The AARP is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing issues that affect older Americans through lobbying efforts aimed at both state and Federal governments. AARP also provides extensive consumer information, volunteer opportunities, and events including the annual National Event & Expo.

In addition to being active in healthcare related issues since at least the early 1960’s, the AARP, while not an insurer, it allows its name to be used by insurance companies in the sale of products, for which it is paid a commission. In fact, the group earns more money via commisions than it does from membership dues.

Many other groups, newspapers, and even politicians have been critical of the AARP, stating that they are masquerading as a nonprofit, while making billions selling insurance policies and high-cost membership fees.

AARP offers classes free of charge, such as caring for a spouse or how to use a smartphone.

AARP has headquarters in Washington, D.C. While it has only about 2,250 full-time employees, the company has more than 20,000 volunteers around the country.

Bayer Corporate Office

Bayer can trace its roots all the way back to 1863. The company was founded in Barmen, Germany, by Fredrich Bayer and his partner, Johann Friedrich Weskott. Corresponding to his education, Friedrich Bayer was responsible for commercial tasks at the young company. Wescott had an apprenticeship as dyer, which gave him knowledge in chemistry.

After moving several times, the company came up with their logo of the Bayer “cross”, which is still used today. In 1899, the company received a trademark for the word aspirin and began selling tablets in drug stores. The company also sold heroin as a cough suppressant The word Heroin was a company trademark until after WWI.

Today, Bayer is mainly known for aspirin and other pharmaceutical items, even though the company has expanded into other areas including fertilizer, vitamins, and, with the acquisition of Monsanto in 2016 for $66 Billion, GMO seeds.

The company also has a pet care division, which markets flea, tick, and heartworm medication for dogs and cats, as well as prescription drugs for horses, cattle, and family pets.

Bayer’s main headquarters is located in Germany, as well as headquarter extensions in almost every continent. In the US, the corporate office is located in Whippany, New Jersey.

The Trump Organization Corporate Office

The Trump Organization has its roots back in Queens in 1906 when German immigrants, Fred and Elizabeth Trump, began buying and selling real estate. Fred died from the flu in 1918, but Elizabeth continued the business. Her son Fred Jr. also began buying and selling real estate.

Fred’s son Donald began working for the family business in 1968. He began calling it The Trump Organization. He focused his efforts on real estate in Manhattan, remodeling the Commodore Hotel, constructed Trump Tower, and the Trump Plaza. He also built several casinos in Atlantic City.

n 1990, the Trump Organization was in financial crisis and was believed by many to be on the brink of collapse, with Donald Trump and his companies owing estimated debts of $3.4 billion. Trump spent the following years renegotiating his debts and gave up some properties, including the Trump Shuttle airline and his stake in the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. In 1995, he took another major step towards financial stability, launching a publicly traded company for the Trump casinos.

The organization has also had operations such as fashion apparel, jewelry and accessories, books, home furnishings, lighting products, bath textiles and accessories, bedding, home fragrance products, small leather goods, barware, steaks, chocolate bars, and bottled spring water.

In September of 2016, the company began operating a chain of hotels called Scion, which are lower priced and are designed to appeal to a younger crowd.

Donald Trump states that he stepped down as CEO and is allowing his children to run the day to day operations of the company after being elected president in 2016. Forbes lists Donald Trump’s net worth as $3.1 billion, although Mr. Trump states that it is more in the area of $10 billion.

Since the financial statements of the Trump Organization’s holdings are private, as are Donald Trump’s personal tax returns, there are only estimates of the Trump Organization’s true value. Donald Trump has been accused on several occasions of deliberately inflating the valuation of Trump Organization properties through the aggressive lobbying of the media, in particular, the authors of the Forbes 400 list, in order to bolster his perceived net worth among the public over the past few decades. He has released little definitive financial documentation to the public to confirm his valuation claims.

In December 2022, The Trump Organization was found guilty of criminal tax fraud in New York.

Coppertone Corporate Office

In 1944, pharmacist Benjamin Green decided that he wanted to make a type of skin protection or sunscreen for soldiers in the war. He began mixing various chemicals in his own kitchen and used the bald spot on his head as a means of testing his product.

Originally meant as a sunscreen, Green’s original product, which he called Red Vet Pet, smelled bad and was thick as paste. He began experimenting, adding coconut oil and cocoa butter to his mix. He realized that this product gave some protection but caused the skin to turn a “copper tone” in color. A product was born.

Coppertone became a household name after an extremely popular advertising campaign featuring a little girl and her dog, who pulls down her swimsuit bottom to reveal her tanned skin.

The company has had numerous other campaign ads, but none to equal the popularity of the little Coppertone girl.

Today, the company is owned by Bayer, an internationally known conglomerate based in Germany. Headquarters for Coppertone/Bayer in the US are located in Whippany, New Jersey.
