The firm of Hutchison, Kohl and Company,…
1872 CE
The firm of Hutchison, Kohl and Company, including Hayward Hutchison, William Kohl, and Louis Sloss, had bought the Russian-American Company after the 1867 purchase of Alaska by the United States.
In 1868, Sloss, Lewis Gerstle, and A. Wassermann had bought this company, although Hutchison, Kohl & Company is in simultaneous existence and under the same ownership until 1872, when the new company pays off the purchase.
This new company, formed in 1868, is called the Alaska Commercial Company.
