Interesting! I would guess you are right, that Falcon took over. I've got some letters signed Higgins as well, not sure what years. Something to look into.

Do any of those catalogs for 1951 list newspaper advertising "mats" that customers should purchase to run in local newspapers? The catalogs I have that have similar form numbers to the ones you list don't have the advertising in them (that I've found, at least).
