Dean..I found him mentioned in 3 towns...Wish it had the SN listed. I tried to get it righted in the post..Maybe the Bosses can do it...j..

It appears the company did not survive the Great Depression and closed about 1931

I think that's neat. 3 days off my Bday, wrong year though There's a little spot on the map in SD named Bonesteel, always thought that was a unique name.
