The name is "Simpson". That is what the sticker on my brushes says and that is how the name them-self:
Simpson Shaving Brushes
I think the " ' " was left off on the boxes just to make the appearance of the name on the box look evenly....Maybe some 30 years ago someone decided to drop the ' because this looks better on the box...
Plausible explanation. Dubious decision. I wonder if they had instead put "Simpson" on the box, if instead of "Manufacturers", it would have said "Manufacturer". My British friends often use plural pronouns where the referent is "company", so "Simpson / Manufacturers of...." might be correct British usage.
