Chandler & Company.

Chandler & Company was a New York investment banking house with offices in New York and Philadelphia, founded in 1914 by Percy M. Chandler, who remained head of the company until his death in 1944. Chandler & Company issued bonds for many companies and countries, including Bolivia, China, Costa Rica, and Germany. The firm came into prominence in early 1915 when it offered German Imperial Treasury notes for public subscription as head of a syndicate of New York and Western bankers despite escalating tensions between the United States and Germany due to World War I. After World War I, Chandler & Company was involved in efforts to renew credit and trade relations between the United States and Germany.
