Ansley moved to Philadelphia in 1902 while he was a professional shooter for Winchester. On November 5, 1902, he incorporated Philadelphia Arms Co. August 1903 contracts were let for construction of the factory at North 18th Street and Windrim Avenue. By mid-1904 they were showing guns to the trade. December 1904 Ansley resigned from Philadelphia Arms Co., bought a lot of machinery and jigs at the receivers sale of Baltimore Arms Co., and set up the A.H. Fox Gun Co. a few blocks away from Philadelphia Arms Co. at the corner of Wayne and Bristol. All the magazine ads I've ever found for Philadelphia Arms Co. were from January to July 1905. A.H. Fox Gun Co. began advertising in mid-December 1905. About November 1906 the A.H. Fox Gun Co. bought out Philadelphia Arms Co. and moved into the factory at North 18th and Windrim. That area of Philadelphia where these Gun Companies were was known as Germantown. Didn't see any folks that looked to be of German descent when I visited the area and took pictures of the old factory building and Ansley's house in 1986.
