Thomson Reuters Started Life as a Fleet of Carrier Pigeons

Well I never. Today I learnt that the Reuters part of Thomson Reuters dates back to 1851 when Paul Julius Reuter emigrated from Germany to London to develop his news information service that relied on telegraph cables and a fleet of 200 carrier pigeons. I didn't say that all blog posts would be useful, did I?
