B. Greening Wire Co. - Zetaspeak
Jenkins Bros., Ltd. - juan
Lewis Brothers., Ltd. - ShayP
McGregor-Bennell Fence Co.
Millers Falls Co.
National Manufacturing Co. - Mr Apnea

@ShayP: 100 points. 

ShayP shrewdly picked the Lewis Bros. as the sellers of the chicken wire and now he is the final 100 point winner for the month of August.  The 100 Years Ago Quiz accountants and lawyers, along with Mrs. Thompson (and you thought you could get rid of her that easily) are all huddled together with adding machines, rulers, protractors, and triangles, to see who will be the Grand Quizmaster throughout the month of September.  Results will be in this Wednesday. 

@Camazotz Automat: 25 points
@FISH: 25 points.


Cam and FISH both picked out a manufacturer that I made up.  George Sherman was actually an old time movie director who specialized in B-Westerns.
