History

Rise

Technology in the late 50's and early 60's was starting to peak a little, but it was a very slow process, so two recently married innovative inventors who lived in Rochester, New York, Moe and Ruby Calectin Apestostos created a company out of an abandoned shopping mall to start creating more products with the help of Seniors to challenge their intellect with technology. Thanks to a friendly and postive enviorment, products were quickly being devoloped and distrubuted, with positive reviews and lots of money coming out of it. For the next 10 years, products were coming out quite frequently and it seemed the company could never end.

Fall

But in 1971, things started to go downhill....

The problems began with overly ambitious, pompus, and somewhat cocky designers who had lots of self esteem after the company's previous successes. This led to sloppy, rushed, and poorly designed products, which started to lose money. Eventually, they lost most of their money, and on August 9th, 1972, they filed for bankrputcy, and on September 23rd, the company shutdown and was abandoned for the next 38 years...

Rise Again

In 2010, however, an unnamed and unknown inventor found the building with the company's logo still entacted on it. He thought the idea was great, and with technology on the rise, he called his senior friends and some more to help reopen the company, and with enough funding and support, the W. I. C. F. S was reopened the follwing year, and is still around now.
