While researching a relative, I came across a reference for the WI&S Company in Workington in 1915. Efforts to find the full name of that company using a search engine have been fruitless. Does anyone know what company it might have been and anything about it? Thanks in advance. Roger Park Atlanta, Georgia USA zimmerhouse@bellsouth.net
