Value & Service hardware stores.
Trademark dates back to 1951. Eventually became True Value hardware stores.

I see if I can come up with something in under 5 minutes. It's all in the search terms. In this case, I guessed it was a hardware store so my first search on google was for:
"V&S" hardware
(The quotation marks can be important). The fifth result had a photo of the sign with the company name. That gave me the search terms for my second search:
"Value and Service" hardware stores
This didn't give the company information I was looking for, so my third and last search was for:
"Value and Service" hardware stores trademark
The first result gave the company history.
Elapsed time probably 2 or 3 minutes.
Other searches sometimes require the use of google images, google books, and google news archives (usually with the timeframe specified).
(You did ask me how I did it
)ah, so you're a plant. put here by Google Inter-Universal Education and Promotions.
j/k, of course. you obviously are trained in research on some level. I really am impressed with some of the results you've posted here. It's like you have a secret axe library network, sometimes.
