And obviously we all know that Savage Arms ended up buying Stevens in 1920.

The board of directors removed Arthur from his position no later than January 25th, 1905 when Savage had published in multiple periodicals a notice that Arthur W. Savage was no longer in the position of managing director and was not authorized to make any transactions on their behalf. If he sold a design to Stevens in 1906 or 1907 that was probably not the reason for being removed from his position.

What's the date on the first contract with Stevens? or is there one?


Company management in January, 1905 was:
President: Benjamin Adriance
VP: Walter Jerome Green
Secretary/Treasurer: J. DePeyster Lynch

I can't find a reference to any of these except Walter J. Green, who in 1902 was a director and had been there since they incorporated in 1897 (1894 probably). So change in management/ownership sometime from 1902 to 1904?
