So, let's see... The misconception is that "Holdsworh", "Holdsworthy", and "Worthy" are not the same entity?
Aside from an unavoidably recognizable familiar pattern, an astute observer might recognize that these were legalistically separate for tax and whatever purpose, but essentially part of the same core organization. Roy Thame was the part owner/manager of the retail shop and of the team... The frames were produced right there with all the rest....
