Western Union's wires don't carry telegrams anymore STOP But they keep on humming with international money transfers STOP The firm's more than 335,000 locations worldwide let individuals and business customers transfer money or make payments electronically. The pioneering company (founded in 1851) has taken advantage of technological advances and rolled with the changes. Starting out as a messaging medium, it then added the US's first stock ticker, helped standardize timekeeping nationally, debuted an early charge card and the singing telegram, and finally shifted to money transfer services.
