Reportedly, In 1907, two teenage entrepreneurs created the world’s largest package delivery service UPS in a Seattle basement with a $100 loan. Claude Ryan and Jim Casey opened the American Messenger Company. In 1919, the company expanded beyond Seattle to Oakland, California, where United Parcel Service debuted. That same year, the company also painted its cars its signature brown, representing class, sophistication and professionalism. In 1930 UPS made its first expansion to the East Coast in metropolitan New York City, moving the corporate office from Los Angeles to 331 East 38th Street, New York.
