Brown and Sons was America's first investment bank (the dot in the name is part of the company's name). Founded by Irish immigrant Alexander Brown in 1800, it underwrote the nation's first public offering, the Baltimore Water Company. For decades, it led in financing Baltimore's development while becoming a major force in international trade and finance. A significant portion of the company's early profits derived from slavery. Heavily involved in the cotton and tobacco trades as a financer, broker, and shipper. It became a leading exporter of cotton to England in the 1820s.
