Chase?

With the help of Google, is it Santana Motor?

I think Susan's right.

I think Susan's right also, I just looked it up.

Chase Bank definitely. The logo has an interesting story behind it. It symbolizes a broken water pipe, because the money used to found the bank (originally The Bank of the Company of Manhattan) came from the $2,000,000,000 raised by Aaron Burr (of Hamilton fame) ostensibly to create a working water system for New York, getting its water from the Bronx river. Only $100,000 was ever put towards building a water supply, and that was shoddily done. After half a century and multiple epidemics of yellow fever and cholera later, along with the lack of sewers that led New York to have a mortality rate of 2.6%, an aqueduct was built to get water from 41 miles north. New York City still gets it's water from upstate. All because Aaron Burr wanted a bank that was bigger than Alexander Hamilton's.

Thanks all. Chase is correct. And thank you, Ian, for the history lesson. Very interesting.

Always something to learn here. Good one Norma

When you publish a puzzle, particularly one as simple as this, it's such a great surprise and a nice gift when someone like Ian chimes in with something interesting and educational.
