It was founded as a joint stock corporation by the merger of the express companies owned by Henry Wells (Wells & Company), William G. Fargo (Livingston, Fargo & Company), and John Warren Butterfield (Wells, Butterfield & Company, the successor earlier in 1850 of Butterfield, Wasson & Company). Wells and Fargo also started Wells Fargo & Co. in 1852 when Butterfield and other directors objected to the proposal that American Express extend its operations to California.
Brian Kelly or Brian Kelley may refer to:
A credit card is a payment card issued to users (cardholders) as a method of payment. It allows the cardholder to pay for goods and services based on the holder's promise to pay for them. The issuer of the card (usually a bank) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance.
A credit card is different from a charge card, where it requires the balance to be repaid in full each month. In contrast, credit cards allow the consumers a continuing balance of debt, subject to interest being charged. A credit card also differs from a cash card, which can be used like currency by the owner of the card. A credit card differs from a charge card also in that a credit card typically involves a third-party entity that pays the seller and is reimbursed by the buyer, whereas a charge card simply defers payment by the buyer until a later date.

You were lying naked in my arms
We were making memories
You were beating breathing into my lungs
Like a nuclear looped-up drum
We burned our bridges
We loved under atomic skies
Rejoiced in the hopeless
We loved under atomic skies
We were looking for something to believe
We were looking for something to understand
Our twisted senses of loyalty
Was getting so out of hand
We burned our bridges
We loved under atomic skies
Rejoiced in the hopeless
We loved under atomic skies
Rejoiced in the hopeless
