1856 · The Largest Map Company in the World
William Rand opened a small printing shop in Chicago. Doing most of the work himself for the first two years he decided to hire some help. Rand Hired Andrew McNally, an Irish Immigrant, to work in his shop. After doing business with the Chicago Tribune, Rand and McNally were hired to run the Tribune's entire printing operation. Years later, Rand and McNally established Rand McNally & Co after purchasing the Tribune's printing business. They focused mainly on printing tickets, complete railroad guides and timetables for the booming railroad industry around the city. What made the company successful was the detailed maps of roadways, along with directions to certain places. Rand McNally was the first major map publisher to embrace a system of numbered highways and erected many of the roadside highway signs that have been adopted by state and federal highway authorities. The company is still making and updating the world maps that are looked at every day.
Name Meaning
English:
nickname, perhaps for someone quick to take offense and draw his sword, or for an instructor in swordsmanship, from Middle English sakespey ‘draw sword’ (Old French sacquespee, from sacque(r) ‘to draw, extract’ + espee ‘sword’).
habitational name from either of two places called Saxby (Leicestershire, Lincolnshire). The Lincolnshire placename derives from the Old Norse personal name Saxi (see Sax 3) + Old Norse bȳ ‘farmstead, village’, while the Leicestershire placename may arise from Old English Seaxe ‘the Saxons’ (genitive plural Seaxna) + Old Norse bȳ, or may have the same etymology as the Lincolnshire placename.
