To reiterate what Mr. Herron passed on, the Argus company originated in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. And there is an Argus museum there today. Much information can be obtained through the museum, and on the Argus forum...many informed members there who are Argus diehards. They even have annual gathering of the members.
The camera was made to compete with Kodak, and initially sold along side them in Drug Stores in the USA.
My favorite remains the "brick" and I have a couple that are mint and workable today. The brick as it was unique.
In later years, and generally their SLR's were made by Cosina, Chinon and Mamiya badged as Argus.
