There's a construction company in the town where I grew up, named after it's founder, Warren Peter.

Just outside of my hometown, there was an industrial framing company, now defunct, "Adam's Steel Erection." Of course, the cool thing to do in High School was to get your photo taken under the sign.

We had a company called “Steel Erections” in town, and they had some pretty hilarious suggestive worded advertisements on the radio to match their suggestive company name. They ended up needing to change their name because the community complained to the radio station and it would not let them run their ads anymore. lol
