 * Keep/comment - A historic, long-standing company with a good reputation for what they do. There's an article about the company here, only viewable in snippet form, but what I can see shows it's quite an extensive history-of article about them. Several mentions of them being the footwear of choice for workmen, such as this book about 1949 firefighters and loggers. There are a few Google Books hits for the founder Otto White, mainly in 19th and early 20th century books. There's a nice mention in a memoir here which, although not much use as a source, does demonstrate that the company was a first port of call for what they do. I find it hard to believe that a company with such longevity and reputation would fail GNG. Mabalu (talk) 10:32, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
