Still looking, but "Time Check" was/is a neighborhood in Cedar Rapids Iowa that began in the early 1870's......might not be it, but who woulda guessed Time Check was a neighborhood? (Well, not me anyway : )

I found out Time Check was named that because the majority of the population worked for the railroad and the railroad issued Time-stopped checks in order to stop banks from cashing them before the railroad had money in its account. Considering where I found this, it makes some sense. About 25 feet from the railroad tracks. Now to figure out what it is!! :P

Sorry, not finding anything on "I.S. Co.". Hopefully someone who really knows what they are talking about will come along and help : )

I'm from Cedar Rapids...'Time Check' by the way, is pretty much desolated because of the flood of '08. I remember when there were houses there..now, empty lots everywhere. Kinda eerie really.
