Anyone ever heard of this company? I would guess it was around in the early 1920's? Thanks for the help

Do you know what they made? Have an ad?

I am pretty sure they made alcohol for your radiator. I have had some of those cans

Here's another photo

They've been around since the mid 1800's in New York, the RM Hollingshead co (Whiz) ended up making their cans and then I believe Whiz started selling through them, bought the brand so to speak. Their products and advertising mimicked Whiz almost to the letter in the 20's and 30's.

Here's a Whiz sign and rack that sure looks very similar to the Miller one.

Sure looks the same, so what happened to Frank Miller's? Did Whiz buy them out?

Here's a Brake Dressing can on ebay:

Nice !

I think they did and just fazed them out, I haven't seen anything newer than the late 30's in the FM tins

sounds like this stuff is tough to come by...

I stumbled on one of these rack signs, now I just need to get the owner to part with it...anyone have an idea on a fair price? It is not as good as the photo on here, probably closer in condition to the Whiz sign, thanks again.
