A chapter in Investing for Middle America, 2001, pp 239-243 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The living embodiment of the tradition of financial service John Elliott Tappan started is his very own descendent, the child he nurtured, the firm that continued on in his absence. American Express Financial Advisors is of course a much larger, and much different, sort of creature than the small partnership Tappan ran. Yet it remains attached to this history, in ways that the men and women who now work there may not notice, but connected nonetheless. When American Express took over Investors Syndicate (by then renamed IDS), it also acquired a long and successful tradition of customer service, and a culture of commitment to the needs of ordinary savers that Tappan had first articulated.
