Andy,
I would say that it is a very good chance its the same Williams. Found the following that shows George Breisch, George Williams and W.I. Hine all listed as directors of American Caramel https://www.google.com/books/edition...sec=frontcover Here is another interesting link which shows a picture of the Caramel factory in Oxford, PA https://www.google.com/books/edition...sec=frontcover Regards, Scott Last edited by phlflyer1; 01-23-2022 at 02:27 PM.

Thanks for the links Scott.
I find it interesting that the second link with the pictures says, "In 1898, the operations passed to the (Frederick) Breisch-Williams Company". That would indicate the Frederick Breisch signature on my stock certificate was the Breisch part of the company and not his son George Briesch. Now I need to find out if the George Williams was the Williams part or not.

Here is an interesting Breisch Hine related item that I picked up recently.
Its part of a letter on company letterhead in which the Breisch-Hine Co. is complaining to the Hammerschlag Mfg Co. about the poor quality of its wax paper. Breisch-Hine suggests that the paraffin used is of an inferior cheap grade. Sadly, its only the top half of the letter but an interesting item just the same.
