now benthall brothers moved c1960s? http://www.benthallbros.com/ rear building (213 W Penn) is Mattress Factory showroom since 1980s When the building at 201 Penn was not enough space for Superior Mattress Co, we started leasing the building next to us at 213 Penn. I believe the owner's name was Bert Horn. He then sold the building to Benthal Brothers who own the rest of the foundry building at 15 Read St. In 1990 our family opened Mattress Factory Showroom Inc at the 213 W Division Street location and is still there. In 2006 we launched Superior Mattress Inc in honor of my Uncle Charlie also in the same building. 213 Penn was known as Advance Stove Works as well.
