This short attempt at opening his business this shortly after the depression was ill advised and by the mid 1930s it is believed that Arnold W. Brill was working at the S. D.

Myres Company known for their quality materials and workmanship. By the 1940s A. W. Brill was sought out by many lawman, military, competitors and gun enthusiasts to design and make their gun leather. It was at this time through the 1940s and 1950s that A. W.
