Where is some information on Griffin Wheel Co?

Hi! While reading the Ask Trains section in the Trains Magazine that arrived yesterday, I noticed a question about wheel sizes. The answer had the sizes of the wheels by Griffin Wheel. I wouldn’t have noticed that if I hadn’t been simulating a siding called Griffin Wheel on the outskirts of West Chicago Yard that very morning! So, I am wondering, is this the main factory or just a distributer?

I wouldn’t think it would be the factory, In the several years I’ve lived here, I’ve only seen I flatcar with wheels!

…Go right to Google and type that Co. name in and bingo…You have the answer.

The link I left above is the company website per their ad in Railway Age.
