Frederick Gilbert Bourne
Frederick Gilbert Bourne (1851-1919), president of the Singer Manufacturing Company (Singer Corporation), made that business "perhaps the first modern multinational industrial enterprise of any nationality." Bourne greatly expanded global production as well as international sales of the Singer sewing machine. Bourne is also remembered as the "world-wide pioneer of installment selling" and "among the most important innovators in building vertically integrated firms." Bourne built Dark Island Castle on one of the Thousand Islands.
