Hello researchers: My uncle Ernest George Reith lived in Greenfield, Mass, during the years 1912 and 1913 for sure. He was listed in a city directory of Greenfield as "employee W B Co" There were several other persons on the same page also listed as employees, so it must have been a big outfit of some kind. Can anyone tell me what W B Co. is, or was? Thanks. sid.

This may have been the Well Brothers Co., bought out by Greenfield Tap & Die, a large concern which did survive for many years until being absorbed into TRW Corp in 1968.
