Three, if you count Northern Electric Co. of Canada, which you will find 
often if you search eBay for either of the other two! This Northern made 
consumer products but in essence was the Canadian manufacturing arm of 
Western Electric and made products primarily for the Bell Telephone Co. 
of Canada.   It is more recently known as Northern Telecom, Nortel, 
Nortel Networks, and some products live on today, in  Avaya, for 
example.  The complete and quite interesting history can be found here:
