This is the lead introduction page of WSI's 1972 catalog (a 3-ring notebook containing 69 pages (photocopies). Most of the pages contain the heading of Wil-Go Corporation. It appears that this was the period when the two companies merged together. I recall that Rick Wilson was involved with Wil-Go and that he and Mitch Weiner had an agreement regarding the merger of the 2 companies. As you can see from the Table of Contents, the company(s) caried a rather complete line of parts & accessories. There is a letter in the back of the notebook from Julio Marquevich of WSI to Paul Hinkston of WCCSC offering to sell us a #210 Baby Seat @ $2.25/each. This letter is significant because Paul Hinkston was an employee of Howie`s company at the time and shortly thereafter Julio joined WCCSC as a salesman and he became sales manager. The dimensions are 10 x 11 inches.
