Yes, it was quite a complicated time for three companies, and I came in as they were transitioning. Harris acquired Lanier Business Products (later spun off as Lanier Worldwide). I was actually hired as 3M went into a joint venture with Harris (Harris/3M), and they distributed Lanier Business machines (copiers, printers, fax machines, et. al.). 3M eventually put their stamp on everything (while I was there), then moved the offices around Manhattan. I was promoted out of Manhattan to my own building (as District Manager) in Queens. Then they were moving again to South Jersey (not a place I wanted to go). It went from 3M, to Harris/3M (from Lanier Business Products to Harris/Lanier), and settled on Harris/3M DPI (Document Products Incorporated) at the time I left.

Got all that? LOL
