10th month of 1949 is my take on it

[wwilson3 (Wayne Wilson, TN 439)]

I think the b may be a 8 that would make it 1998

I didn’t think Janitrol was around in 1949 My mistake

Janitrol was founded in 1894 and bought by Goodman in 1982

Why dont you call goodman and ask them??

I’m on here, in no rush, and so I thought I would just put the question out there. I will certainly call on monday, if I do not get a confident response. Thanks!
