Heard of Will components before?

I picked up an Araya road frame last weekend and it has components by a company called "Will"...have you ever heard or seen such a brand? They're certainly not lightweight but seem very sturdy and look distinct in a good way.

Only Will I know about is that Toyota had a vehicle called the Will, based on the Yaris platform, I think the website was what'swill.com, or similar, maybe whatswill.com, kins of Toyota doing a Citroen 2CV

Seems like I have seen alloy stems with a stylized word "Will" on them. Not real fancy, but servicible.

evwxxx, it is a stylized Will with big fat lettering. I'll have pics when the bike's built up and cleaned. It came on a bike with bar end shifters and leather wrapped MKS pedals, so I thought it might be of top grade group.

Yes, that is what I have seen. They have been on middle of the road bikes (quality-wise), I assume they are similar in to Atax, Phillipe, and SR stems.
