I am researching my Great Grandmothers lapel watch and came upon your site. It is wonderful to find this picture. I am a little confused though because my research so far indicates that the company was sold and the name changed in 1904. Is that incorrect? Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, Charlie
These two newsletter articles may touch on how the name change came about. Maybe someone at the Riverside Historical Society can provide more detail if you need it.

When you finish your detective work, let us know what you found out. It is always a pleasure to help.
