First under the management of founder John C. Lincoln and since 1914 under James F. Lincoln, John's younger brother. One of James's early actions as the head of the company was to create a committee consisted of elected representatives by the employees of the company, that were to advise Mr James in the affairs of the firm. They were called the Advisory Board and this was one of the smartest decisions that James F. Lincoln made regarding personnel. This was one of their prerequisites to progress and success and this is what makes them unique to this day. James F. Lincoln died in 1965 and it is obvious some people thought that the famous Lincoln standards would no longer be upheld, that profits would decrease and their employee bonus-plan might cease to exist.

The Amistad case is an interesting one and surprisingly well handled by the United States government. There were plenty of legal challenges that the United States became quickly aware of before pursuing further on the case.

The company today remains a profitable, growing and admired organization. Its culture has been analyzed and utilized as an example in business education for many years.
