In 1950 this firm made a "Whiz-Master" 10-inch bandsaw, plus an 8-inch non-tilting tablesaw. These machine are unusual in using wood for all non-mechanical components.

Information Sources

  • 10-inch "Whiz-Master" bandsaw reported, estimated to be from the early 1960s.
  • Advertisement in the October 1950 issue of Popular Mechanics.
  • There are patents for a silver chest and a gun rack to a William R. Vermillion of Kansas City, MO. We have seen a for-sale notice for an oak cutlery chest made by W. R. Vermillion Co. of Kansas City, but there is no evidence that these are one and the same company.
