Graybar is an American employee-owned corporation, based in Clayton, Missouri. It conducts a wholesale distribution business for electrical, communications and data networking products, and is a provider of related supply-chain management and logistics services.

Founded in 1869 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Elisha Gray and Enos Barton, it was the origin of the Western Electric Company. On December 11, 1925, it was separately incorporated as Graybar Electric Company, Inc.
During the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era, an entrepreneur named Enos Barton (who had served as a telegrapher during the war) worked for Western Union in Rochester, New York. During this period, Barton met George Shawk, the foreman of the company's Cleveland, Ohio shop. When that shop was closed down, Shawk bought some of the equipment and went into business for himself, making various kinds of electrical and other apparatus, including inventor's models. While on a trip to Rochester, he and Barton, who was then 26, agreed to go into partnership.

http://www.graybar.com/powersmart. Graybar uses a consultative approach to make your building smarter. But what does that really mean? Let’s say your building has lights, security cameras, wifi and a number of other systems that work independently. And when your systems don’t work together, it makes your building inefficient and dumb. And dumb buildings cost you money. Graybar makes your building smart by helping you combine these systems with the right products, onto one IP infrastructure so you can monitor and control them from any location. In addition, Graybar works with you to decide what is best for your building, no matter what brand or manufacturer you use.

I got a call to rule the underworld
That passion burns in me
I've got a gift and a commanding mind
My faith will set me free
Stand before me now
Take what I give and you will make it back
There ain't a law
There ain't a reson why
No man should feel that hurt
What's in your heart should be enough for you
Believe in what you're worth
Forget the past
Rorget the negative
Just crush what brings you down
Be merciless in your awakening
Accept the things you've found
Release that hold
Take all you've known
Release that hold
