I understand that current companies, like Google, do not go in italics or quotes. However, I am editing an article with a sentence that says,

"Founded in 1880 as 'The Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company,'"

The name above is no longer the name of the company, and anywhere I look online or in the Encyclopedia, they just use bold for the names, which I don't think is appropriate for an article where nothing else is in bold.

(if it makes a difference, the style should be Chicago)

Thanks for the help!
