This Story Moved Me
I can't really explain why, it just did. Aside from the presence of the laughing lady news anchor and the "Yes, yes very nice" serious male anchor the video is nice too. It's just one of those things two people share and can't really be explained to anyone else. You know, it's always the weirdest things that mean the most. http://www.wltx.com/FYI/story.aspx?storyid=39760
ECS (A short history)
Founded in 1911 by Elias B. Inc. and his brother Escrow K. Inc. - Escrow Closing Services, Inc. has been a close partner of E-LOAN in recent years. It was only within the past few years that they achieved the much sought after “Subsidiary” status.
Escrow Closing Services, Inc. (ECS for short) originally started as a bathtub manufacturing company in Atlanta. It was a moderately successful enterprise for many years.
During the 1940’s ECS made a change from making bathtubs to manufacturing jet airplane engines for the United States government. After the conclusion of the war the brothers had a falling out. Elias and Escrow disagreed over the direction to take the company in the post-war era. Elias pushed aggressively for the company to continue making jet engines. Escrow, on the other hand, wanted to go back to making bathtubs. Eventually the brothers came to a compromise and decided to make bathtubs with jet engines. Both brothers spent their fortunes refitting the factory to make and combine both products, going heavily into debt in the process. Finally, on October 17th 1956 the first Aero-tub rolled off the line.
The public, never having seen it’s like, requested a demonstration. Happy to oblige, Elias filled up the tub with warm water (and bubbles!), hopped in and turned on the engine. The Aero-tub, and Elias with it, roared off towards the horizon amongst the applauds of the crowd. Their “Ooh’s” and “Aah’s” quickly turned to “Oh no’s!” when a loud boom echoed back down the Aero-tub’s path. Pieces of porcelain and jet engine were found lodged in a large oak tree about a quarter of a mile away from the crowd. Elias was nowhere to be found.
Needless to say, sales of the Aero-tub were poor. Escrow shut down the factory and headed to California. It was there he resided until his death a few years later. The company changed hands several times and remained in relative obscurity until 2003.
It was then that Escrow Closing Services, Inc. made it’s resurgence in the business world. Instead of making bathtubs, or jet engines, or jet engine bathtubs, ECS had instead moved into the mortgage settlement services business.
Today, Escrow Closing Services, Inc. (ECS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of E-LOAN, Inc. ECS is dedicated to providing unparalleled title, appraisal and loan closing services to the mortgage lending branches of E-LOAN. ECS is committed to providing fast, friendly and efficient service to ensure that E-LOAN borrowers have a satisfying borrowing experience from application to funding.
