[Austin W Hogan]

Bill knows more about Mr Worthington than I. The Geo Worthington Co was a major hardware distributor through most of the 19th and 20th centuries. I was given the previous year's GWC catalog by the owner of the local hardware as a kid, and I studied and used it like an encyclopaedia. I have advertised and inquired of book sellers for a copy but have yet to find one.
I can remember about four pages of Colt's in my copy, GWC was apparently a major Colt distributor, and probably from Bill's remarks, a Parker distributor as well.

Best, Austin
