The business of the M. S. Benedict Mfg. Co., manufacturers of silver-plated ware, East Syracuse, N. Y., was recently reorganized and incorporated at Albany, under the title, the Benedict Mfg. Co. The business was originally established in 1833 by the late M. S. Benedict, and incorporated in 1902, including the M. S. Benedict Mfg. Co., Hamilton Mfg. Co., Benedict-Clark Silver Co., and Benedict- Dunn Co. From a small concern it grew to such an extent that during the year 1904 its gross sales amounted to a very large amount.
