 * Delete, weakly. Article is about a local chain of jewellery stores, a family operation predating WWI.  A longstanding consumer business like that might have some kind of cultural resonance, but Google News and Books all draw blanks: one book result for "Poyser and Sons" (no news hits) from a guy who bought an antique watch with a trademark from there and mentions it in passing.  If any reliable sources can be found I might be persuaded to change my mind. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
