Abstract
Restructuring has been a way of life at Whitman Corporation (formerly 1С Industries). We started life over twenty-five years ago as a railroad company, the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, in search of a new way to diversify and grow. Over time we became a $4 billion diversified multinational company, with a focus on consumer goods and services. And that didn’t happen by chance. Everything we have accomplished over the years has been according to plan and has been carried out by our operating people.
