This is the logo for the present firm Mogan Stanley Smith Barney.  Edward Smith's company merged with Charles D. Barney & Company in 1938 to become Smith Barney & Company.  Smith Barney became famous in the 1970s for a series of John Houseman television commercials in which he said: "Smith Barney, they make money the old fashioned way...they earn it."  Morgan Stanley Smith Barney is presently a joint venture between Morgan Stanley and Citigroup.
