Continuation Advert analysis: 1860 - Gun Manufacturer does not = the New Company name

---------------1860--------------------------------------------------------

1860 - E.M Reilly & Co., Gun Makers (plural): 502 continued to use "Gun Makers." 315 continued to have separate advertisements, sometimes in the same newspaper at the same time; but the company remained "E.M. Reilly, Gun Makers" for both:

04 August1860: E.M Reilly & Co., Gun Manufacturer (singular) appears in newspaper advertisements. However, this description can't be found in large format ads. Also note the "Manufacturer" - single case. Formerly Aug 1860 was designated as the changeover to "E.M. Reilly & Co., Gun Manufacturers" (plural).

In case there is any doubt about 502 and 315 being the same company here is a variant of the "Armoury House" advertisements (with "manufacturer"):
