THEMABeschreibung
TEXTIn different sections of Essex County there are a number of industrial establishments that have achieved a standard reputation in their respective lines of manufacture. Notably among them is the Silver and Brass Rolling Mill of Bloomfield, managed by Samuel Benson's Sons. The business was originally founded by the father of the present proprietors, Mr. Samuel Benson, his sons succeeding to the management upon his decease. The works, which are situated on Belleville and Sherman Avenues, near Ridgewood Station, consist of large frame and brick buildings, two stories high, covering an area of something over half an acre. The equipment of the works in machinery and modern appliances is equal to any in the State and is driven by a large and powerful engine. A sufficient number of skilled and experienced mechanics are employed, insuring success in manufacturing, and none but the best work is turned out. The firm has ample capital, its members are sagacious business men and practical machinists, and conduct a large business in manufacturing silver-plated metal, sheet brass, German silver, prince's metal, oroide, platers' brass, jewelers' composition, and platers', electro-platers', grain, and beaters' silver, also job rolling in various metals. Particular attention is given to job rolling, in which an extensive business is transacted. The business is carried on in the name of Henry K. Benson, who, together with the other sons, Frank S. and Theodore F. Benson, are interested in and pay particular attention to the different branches of manufacturing. The sons are all native Jerseymen, who in all relations of life, in public and private capacities, have maintained a most enviable position and reputation among their fellowcitizens for thoroughness and reliability in every transaction, and among all who know them for courtesy and politeness equally characteristic. They have made many improvements in their works and now possess an establishment which will compare favorably with any of its kind in the country. They enjoy a large trade, drawn from all parts of the Union, but principally from New York and the Eastern States. Mr. Henry K. Benson at present, though not an office seeker, holds the position of member of the Town Council, to which he was elected by a flattering majority.
