[PRCo] Re: Holding___Company

[Bob Rathke]

PRCo's holding company was Pittway (as in PITTsburgh railWAYs), which
subsequently evolved here in Chicago as the smoke detector company (First
Alert).

The word "spray" may have added to the confusion because in the years before
PAT, PRCo owned a company called ("G.", I believe) Barr, a manufacturer of
aerosol cans.
