Re: [Spridgets] Emblem question

["Glen Byrns" <grbyrns@ucdavis.edu>]

If, as Treavor says, the other symbol on the Austin crest is a sheaf of wheat,
then it represents "The harvest of one's hopes has been secured".

So I guess the summary is that the Austin family "Secured the harvest of their
hopes through travel and labour."  Modern paraphrase, "Made their money
selling cars"   Seems to fit.
