Wm. G. Rogers Co.

Greenfield, MA 1901-1903
This company was sued by International Silver, who owned the Wm. Rogers Mfg. Co., claiming fraudulent use of the Rogers name.  Two former Wm. Rogers Mfg. Co. employees, brothers Walter E. and J. Henry Nichols, formed the Wm. G. Rogers Co., and held the majority of company stock.  They allocated 10% of stock to William G. Rogers, a bank clerk in New York City, and named him president of the  company, enabling them to legally use the Wm. G. Rogers name.  In 1903, International Silver was successful in their suit, proving the company was set up to deceive the public; the Wm. G. Rogers Co. was barred from ever using that name again, or any name which included Wm. Rogers.
