I recently came across a Button House catalog from 1970. My suspicions have been confirmed: Button House had the exact same street address as ASCO during that time (1205 E. Sanborn St.); and, the catalog listed them as "a division of ASCO." So, for whatever reason, some ASCO sports pennants were branded under this Button House moniker; and others, "ASCO." Regardless of the name, they're all coming from the same place.

If you ask me both names are kinda silly.... No wonder they went with "WinCraft" the moment it became available.
