Leonard's Guide Nears 100 Years In Business

In less than three years, Leonard's Guide will celebrate 100 years of being in business. G.R. Leonard & Company was founded in 1912 by George Russell Leonard, who was born in Nailsworth, England in 1867. He came to the United States in 1886, and in 1912 conceived the idea of a guide providing rates and routing information for use in shipping rooms. He established G.R. Leonard & Company, giving birth to the first Leonard's Guide publication.

When our company was established, Woodrow Wilson was president, the RMS Titanic was making headlines, and Arizona and New Mexico were just becoming U.S. states. As a company, we have been through several major economic downturns and recessions, as well as the great depression. Since we were founded almost a century ago, we have expanded to become an international concern, serving companies in all 50 U.S. states, every province in Canada, and countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and around the world.

We have broadened our base of print and online services to meet the needs of today's shipper, freight transportation, warehousing, air cargo and logistics companies. We remain focused on the principles set forth by our founder of providing important, relevant and useful information solely to these industries. As we head toward this anniversary, it is with sincere appreciation and thanks to our thousands of customers over the years that helped to make this milestone possible.
