Technically, Snyder is the company who built Rollfasts for D.P. Harris Hardware, and the others.

Who made all those bikes we're talking about from the sixties. Hawthorne, Sears bikes, Huffy etc.?

Huffy was it's own company, it's roots trace back through Huffman, Dayton, and the Davis Sewing Co. Sears sourced bikes from all over, though not from Snyder after the '20s. Most were made by Westfield/Columbia from the '20s through 1937, and small quantities after that. Murray became the main supplier from 1938 on, though Sears always ordered small lots through other companies to top off stock, including Monark, Ross, and Puch, and Huffy.
