Manufactured by the Rankin Brothers who also operated Western Gear at the corner of Imperial and Alameda in Lynwood. They bought the company from Lear of private jet fame who operated it under the Comet banner. Lear bought it from the original owners and moved it to Lynwood from central L. A.. The Rankin Bros. also bought Apex and manufactured their line at the same location.
