Hi Paul & All,

Paul F. asked if there was any connection between C.E. Jennings & Co.
and Jennings & Griffin. The short answer is Yes - Charles E. Jennings
was in both. The longer answer is that the exact connection is a bit
cloudy. Jennings & Griffin succeeded George S. Wilder in Hinsdale, NH,
in 1883, but Wilder continued as manager of their plant there. By 1891,
they had a second plant in Yalesville, CT, and the NH plant was closed
down then or a bit later. Jennings concurrently had his other company in
NYC (18778-1923). It is fairly certain that by 1901, Jennings & Griffin
was only a C.E. Jennings & Co. brand name and that may have been all
they were all along.

Best Wishes,
Bob
