@Camazotz Automat: 100 points

Camazotz was the first one out of the gate with an answer, and the only one with the correct answer.

@Jayzelady: 25 points

Nine of the above initials were taken from 100 years ago articles.  The tenth one I made up and Jayzelady selected it, thus winning 25 points.  Where did I get the made up initials?   Walks_At_Night.

PS, Mr. McWilliams was a handler of nitro glycerin in his youth.  He would travel to oil wells, lower his nitro down into them and then explode the stuff so that the wells would produce more oil.  Needless to say, he didn't have many friends.  Later on in life he got a job with Colliers Magazine, travelling all over the state of Montana collecting past due subscription fees.  That is how he got to know more people in Montana than anyone else.
