BENCO Cargo Attachments were manufactured by Baltimore Enamel & Novelty Co. Founded in 1896, the company had a rich history. WSC listing: The product description for contract 5475 (6/44 - 7/44) is "Plywood Packboards," but I think that this is a data entry error, and that the contract was in fact for Packboard Attachments. BENCO Packboard Attachments dated 1945 can also be found, although no Packboard Attachment contracts are listed for 1945 in the WSC Listing. Some information about the BENCO 1945 production can be found in the May 2, 1945 edition of The Commercial & Financial Chronicle: https://archive.org/details/sim_commercial-and-financial-chronicle_1945-05-28_161_4389/page/2326/mode/2up https://collections.digitalmaryland.org/digital/collection/mdph/id/1264/ Enoch Pratt Free Library. Baltimore Enamel & Novelty Co. plant in the Mount Winans neighborhood of S.W. Baltimore, circa 1930's. (Two plants are shown in the photo; Baltimore Enamel & Novelty Co. is the plant to the right. To the left, the plant with the water tanks on the roof, is the Maryland Glass Corporation. (Maryland Glass was famous for making the blue glass bottles for Bromo-Seltzer, Noxzema, Vicks VapoRub, Phillips Milk of Magnesia, and others.) At the link provided, the photo can be magnified to show great detail. Numerous help wanted newspaper ads placed by Baltimore Enamel & Novelty Co. can be found that span the wartime years. Taken together, the ads provide good insight into the company's activity. Here are a few representative ads: In the above two ads, notice that the top rate for women is the starting rate for men. Note "We can hire at gate," and also that the company was operating its own bus service to facilitate getting workers to the plant. -
