Was Stearns also a local outfit? One guy in the one semester I dormed at 
UW-Madison was named Stearns. His father ran the state GOP party back 
then (1963). As a banjoist, he got me interested in starting to play the 
5-string banjo--southern Appalachian clawhammer style, ala Grandpa Jones.
So, A&B had properties on both sides of Hibernia, considering its office 
and factory as two separate parcels. A&B was listed as a quality luggage 
company when I websearched it a few years ago. Then DDE (Don der Elder) 
was correct if he was referring to its office parcel.

Was Dorecrest Poultry anywhere near the ROW, as I could find almost 
nothing about it other than an older address (125 N. Muskego [Emmbers])?
