 | | Dresser Industries, Incorporated, a multinational corporation headquartered in Dallas, provides a wide range of technology, products, and services used for developing energy and natural resources. |

 | | Dresser's descendants, who had been operating the company since the founder's death, decided to sell it, and in 1928 the Wall Street investment-banking firm of W. Harriman and Company, Incorporated, converted the firm into a public company by issuing 300,000 shares of stock. |
