Welco is a company that supplies storage, racking, partitioning and handling and general office equipment.   There was a Welco benefit society at Welwyn in the 1930s and Paine probably made these designs (gouache) for the Welco bulletin in 1940 or thereabouts.   There was also a ‘Welco Players’ that probably put on performances at the Barn Theatre.
