Dow Jones Description
Today, Simmons-Boardman is the diversified provider of periodicals, books, learning materials, and other services primarily, though not exclusively, related to the transportation and banking industries. While some of the company's magazines have diminished in size in recent years, along with the industries they serve, their quality has never been compromised and they are widely perceived to be the leaders in their fields. The sheer longevity of most Simmons-Boardman publications commands respect even from their rivals. Always a closely held company, Simmons-Boardman for the last half-century has been owned and controlled by a single family, that of the late Arthur J. McGinnis, Sr. In 1940, Mr. McGinnis, not long out of the Harvard Business School, went to work for Simmons-Boardman as an associate editor of Railway Age. He gradually bought up the company's stock, and by the early 1960s owned a controlling interest.
