Talk:C.R. Patterson and Sons

Issues with J.P. Lowe & Company and precursor history for CR Patterson and Sons
Hello! I am moving this discussion to the talk page so we can look deeper into the sources. The issue is around the J.P. Lowe & Company history. It is unclear if (1)Patterson formed a partnership with J.P. Lowe to create "J.P. Lowe & Company" OR if (2)"J.P. Lowe & Company" existed and Patterson joined and later J.P. Lowe and Patterson formed a new partnership, all the while maintaining the old business? Jooojay (talk) 15:19, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I think you are correct, seeing here that most sources are stating they formed a partnership - only one source states Patterson was joining Lowe (coachbuilt.com) and it does have more details, but I don't know that it is a more reliable source WP:RS. I will fix the edits from earlier and restore what you wrote, but without removing any citations. I am sorry for the confusion. Jooojay (talk) 15:23, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
