Charles P. Rogers
Charles (Chas) Platt Rogers (May 5, 1829 New York City – December 17, 1917 New York City) was an early American industrialist, New York City socialite and charter member and director of the Fourteenth Street Bank of New York. His longest lasting achievement was the founding the eponymous company Charles P Rogers & Co.〔(Charles P. Rogers : Brass and Iron Beds, Daybeds, Platform Beds and Bed Linens ) at www.charlesprogers.com〕 established in 1855. This is longest continuously operating bedding manufacturing and retail company in the United States. The company continues operations to this day and provided more beds and bedding to the finest hotels and clubs than any other company during its first hundred years. Charles was a pioneer in both the manufacturing processes and importation of brass and iron bedstead and a beloved member of the business community of New York; after his death he was referred to as the "dean of the bedding manufacturers of New York City…" in The Furniture Manufacturer and Artisan Periodical, volume 15, 1918.
