This Middle West Utilities Company fractional rights stock certificate was issued in 1930. The Middle West Utilities Company was a holding company formed in 1912 by Samuel Insull to acquire electric railways and utilities throughout the U.S. Insull was the private secretary of Thomas Edison and worked his way up to become the manager of Edison's factory in Schenectady which would eventually become General Electric.
