I bumped into this info while researching my '41 Witte Flyer. I found it in a 1919 Metal Polishers Union journal, of all places. There was a strike going against Schwinn...the polishers were fighting for a 44 hr workweek and 75-cents per day pay. ?The union posted this partial list of jobbers and wanted the members to picket them. I hope at least one person finds it interesting or useful. B607
