We had reported previously that Richard Houston was retiring "soon," but Jeff Ewing (ewing@postbox.csi.cuny.edu) writes with more specifics:

It seems that "soon" = this year, and the PO Box will be closed September 30th, although he says orders for the Battle-in-a-box will be accepted until November (via carrier pigeon?).

Richard Houston operates Houston's Tracks, a manufacturer of WWI and WWII miniatures. He was also associated with Houston's Ships, but that product line was sold in 1990 to Stone Mountain Miniatures.
