Same thing happens with distillers and brewers. Some modern multinational conglomerate buys up single malt distillery in Scotland or a brewer in Germany and instantly can advertise they have been in business for 300 years! Th Hudson's Bay Company which I worked for always had a banner stating "Incorporated May 2, 1670" The company is now owned by a businessman entrepreneur in Georgia and doubtlessly the same banner is used in advertising.
