It seems they were one of the plant "A" type firms in Chicago. The products they built were very basic, to high quality multi tube sets.
They built the McMurdo-Silver Masterpiece series.
They built the first Hallicrafters receivers, up to 1938.
They also built their own high quality communications receivers with their name and one for Sears and Montgomery Ward.
An interesting company, to be sure.
