Commerce and Economic Development
Since the days of Lewis and Clark, St. Louis has been a center for transportation and trade. Modern St. Louis is serviced by superior highway, rail, air and barge facilities, making the city
a logical distribution center. It also is an important site for banking and manufacturing, as well as tourism and major conventions. Non-stop air service to Europe makes the city an international gateway. Many Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in St. Louis including Boeing, Anheuser-Busch, Monsanto Company, Ralston Purina, TWA and May Department Stores.
