We're on the right track here.
J.G. Falcon was indeed J.V.'s father who is recorded as submarine diver in 1880, submarine contractor in 1910, 1920. His father, Peter G. Falcon was a submarine engineer as well in 1880.
Must have been a ship yard nearby on Lake Michigan.

Submarine diver? Interesting. Probably explains his patent 467927, "Apparatus For Laying Iron Pipe Under Water".

Somewhere out in the world is a Stevens Shotgun Lamp!

From Mr. DuBuisson's obit...
In 1943, shortly after the birth of his first child, Charles David, Mr. DuBuisson entered the United States Army and earned a commission as a second lieutenant. He served as an artillery officer in Europe until his discharge in 1945 with the rank of captain.
After the war, Mr. and Mrs. DuBuisson settle in Chatham, NJ, where in 1950 their second son, Robert Laird, was born. In 1954, the family moved to Longmeadow, Mass., and Mr. DuBuisson took a job with the Savage Arms Corp. as advertising manager. He rose to vice president for marketing and then president. In 1976, he retired from Savage's parent company, Emhart Corp., now a part of Black & Decker.

Shipped to J. V. Falcon and charged to advertising? That's an interesting note. I wonder if they pulled multiple, old handguns out of storage and handed them out to different store buyers after refurbing them? That could be a job combing thru the ledgers looking for that though.

Yea, it appears to be a freebie from Savage to the purchase agent (Falcon) at Montgomery Ward's.
A common practice, even today to help insure "business as usual".
