| History: |
Around 1919, the company expanded into other areas of manufacture and product distribution, even going so far as to come close to having "retail" stores, putting the famous Winchester brand on nearly everything from tools, sporting goods to housewares and hardware items, with its slogan being ...."As Good As The Gun".
In 1922 Winchester Repeating Arms Company merged with Simmons Hardware Company. This new company was known as The Winchester Simmons Company. This merger was a financial disaster for both companies. In March of 1929, the Simmons Hardware Company announced that they were reverting to their original status and the name Winchester would no longer appear in conjunction with Simmons Hardware |
