Can any researchers here shed light on two of Bro Russell's companies?

    I have recently read two old newspaper articles from the early 1900's where Bro Russell speaks about two companies he created.

    One was the United States Realty company, and the other was the United States Investment company.

    The only thing I can find that comes close today is the United States Realty and Investment Company which was established in 1927.

    Do you know about this “Tower Publishing” which Russell set up? I understand wtbts was in some way required to pay Tower publishing for The Watchtower, but I’m not sure what for....whether it was for paper, publishing rights for articles he wrote etc etc Anyway, sounds mighty fishy.

    Pretty sure our poster Viene would be able to help us. So sad she is no longer with us.
