Oneida Name Plate Built From Stamped Metal Wallet Cards
Genny and Don Bennett built a family business around stamping metal wallet cards with the medical alert symbol. They moved from Iowa to Manchester and then to Oneida, buying a former school building in 1970 to house Oneida Name Plate and Bennett Wood Stores. Their enterprise grew with five employees in a headquarters by a former Grange building, while plans to sell the old school surface again for Oneida home use linger.
