Maybe Oscar wasn't interested in the business? It happens all of the time where a father has a child working with them but not the other of his children.

Was that before AWH ?

No idea if the AWH or AWA came first but to me it would make sense the AWA came first. Then maybe the 3rd brother got upset and the dad said screw it, and made it only his initials? Who knows....

Probably started as Dad's name and then the names of his first two sons. The third may have not even been born yet....

They had 3 sons, Oscar (b.1891), Arhur E. (b.1892) and Wilbur (b.1898).

Very interesting. I have always been fascinated with the E222's. I didnt know 2 more were discovered. Thanks for sharing Leon and I think you are on to something. The Fulton Press site is close to me as is the old ATC warehouse which is now luxury condo's.

Stumbled across this. Read the last couple paragraphs... it looks like Oscar and Arthur worked for their dad but Wilbur did not.
