Dr. Neekburn Our Beloved Founder Lunatic or Visionary (1889 - 1842)?
IN 1887 DOCTOR FRONZEL AMBROSE NEEKBURN & LORENZO FLABBERSHAM, two veteran prospectors arrived in Southeast Alaska (later to be known as The City and Burrough of Juneau) to investigate native accounts of mysterious animals with golden wings
atop the settlement's ill-famed Thunder Mountain. The pair traded their rations with the local Indians for large quantities of Hoochinoo (home brew) and never got far from the beach. But when Neekburn climbed a tree to avoid an angry creditor, his eye caught a movement in the clear summer sky-something he would later claim to be flying turtles. Neekburn split partnership with Flabbersham and founded Holistic Forge & Mercantile Turtle Works in early 1888. In half legible letters written to Flabbersham, Neekburn claimed to have made contact with a mysterious race of super-intelligent flying turtles who seem to be invisible to everybody but myself.
He continues: I am secretly learning from them their method of manipulating the very fabric of our reality
Struggles & Triumphs: An Impossible Dream
As Dr. Neekburn became less coherent, his goal of a dominant world presence was surpassed only by his desire for assaulting political opposition with expended salmon carcasses; leading to his untimely death by way of defenestration1. Forward thinking relatives, and with support of Flabbersham's sister company Pompeii Forge, it was decided to continue on with Neekburn's mighty corporation as: Holistic Forge Works.
Dr. Neekburn lived in a time of wood, brass and steam; yet, could he have anticipated the futurist wonderment his company would eventually be responsible for? Today Holistic Forge Works is still strong, offering its diverse services to the happy men & women of practical, modern thinking2.

Notes To Editors: 
- Holistic Forge Works was founded in 1888 by Dr. Fronzel Ambrose Neekburn. For 117 years, HFW has stood for purity and great taste. It remained headquartered in Juneau, Alaska until 1997. Today, its Chairman, President and CEO is a shadowy figure known as The Webmaster.
- The last Neekburn family member to be involved in management with the company was Blitzen Fischer Neekburn Jr., who served as the company's chairman until his untimely death at a lighter-than-air steam shovel demonstration in 1931. Since that time, no Neekburn family member has been employed by the company and none has served on its board of directors.
- The late Senator W. Hellespont Neekburn III (Alaska - Socialist) did work briefly in the 1960s in the company's phantom works department before embarking upon his career in politics. He was tragically killed in a lighter-than-air steam shovel demonstration reenactment, accident in 1981.
- As befits a global corporation with thousands of employees in the United States and around the world, HFW is non-partisan and politically independent. Holistic Forge Works makes quality products and is not politically, religiously, ethnically affiliated.
