See, inter multa alia:

wollensak

Wollensak was purchased by Revere and was closed down in 1972.  The name is
spelled "Wollensak";  I am unaware that the family ever spoke on this issue
but, during the life of the company, that was how it was spelled, so I
suspect that this was the way they wished it spelled.
