Archibald Torrance featured in the local newspaper when he was involved in the organisation of a football tournament in 1910. While Archibald Torrance was establishing his painting business in Brown St, his brother William Young Torrance (1863-1949) was in partnership with James Wallace in a Joinery business, next door. In 1911 William Young Torrance was doing sufficiently well to be living in a so-called 'villa' on the Loudoun Road called 'Eastmore'. In 1912 Wallace and Torrance, Joiners, was doing well enough to give a donation to support Kilmarnock Infirmary. £1 in 1912 would be equivalent to about £80 in 2020. For the next thirty or so years these businesses continued in the same premises as can be seen in the Valuation Rolls.
