10th month of 1949 is my take on it

[Wayne B. Wilson]

I think the b may be a 8 that would make it 1998

[Wayne B. Wilson]

I didn't think Janitrol was around in 1949 My mistake

[Bobby Hamilton]

Janitrol was founded in 1894 and bought by Goodman in 1982

I'm on here, in no rush, and so I thought I would just put the question out there. I will certainly call on monday, if I do not get a confident response. Thanks!
