Aldrich & Ray Manufacturing Company, Buffalo.-This is one of the representative manufacturing concerns of
Buffalo. It was established in 1879 by Schuyler Aldrich. Five years later Isaac A. Aldrich entered the firm and
two years afterward George A. Ray was admitted, the firm name being then changed to its present style. In the early
stage of the business a line of small copper goods was manufactured, later a full line of hotel, restaurant and
house furnishing goods, and a short time ago the manufacture of all kinds of soda fountain apparatus was taken
up, the product now comprising all of these lines on a large scale, about 800 tons of copper and many tons of brass
being consumed annually. Schuyler Aldrich, the senior member of the firm, is a native of Canada and removed with
his parents to Oberlin, Ohio, when he was quite young. He was educated for the ministry and in 1861 became pastor
of the Buffalo Free Baptist church. Subsequently he was pastor of the Free Baptist churches at Phoenix, N. Y.,
Elmira, N. Y., and Poland, N.Y. In 1858 he married Charlotte C. Hardy of Pierpont, Ohio. Isaac A. Aldrich was born
and educated in Pierpont, Ohio, and in 1880 came to Buffalo, where he has since resided. He has been connected
with the establishment for a period covering eighteen years. George A. Ray, junior member of the firm, was born
in Cheektowaga, Erie county, and obtained his education in the public and high schools of Buffalo. His connection
with the firm dates back to 1886. The Aldrich & Ray Manufacturing Company is the largest concern of its kind
in New York State.
