Aeroquip was a major manufacturer of aerospace and industrial hose and fitting systems, playing a key role in both commercial and military applications throughout the mid-20th century. The Los Angeles address listed uses the old postal zone format ("Los Angeles 21"), which predates ZIP codes and helps date the matchbook to the 1950s–early 1960s.
