B.F. Avery and Sons Plow Company Historical notes:
Benjamin Franklin Avery, founder of BF Avery & Sons, made his first plow in a little blacksmith shop in Clarksville, Virginia, in the year 1825. Even the, at the age of twenty-four he had ventured away from his home in Aurora, New York. His enthusiasm was at least the  ingredients that contributed to his making the first Avery plow along with the long and useful span of his life.
BF Avery died in 1885 at the age of eighty-four. He was know for not only the splendid BF Avery factory and organization, but also for the grateful good will of millions of farmers.  The company carried his legacy for a long span  of Avery men that manufacture and distribute BF Avery products.
Samuel L. Avery, eldest son of BF Avery, succeeded his father to the Presidency upon his death in 1885. The organization was incorporated in 1877. As a member of this partnership Samuel L. Avery worked side by side with his father.  When he took over he exemplified in every action the spirit and the principles of his father.
He in his turn was beloved as a leader in his community, as head of a family and as chief officer of a great industrial enterprise.
George Capwell Avery, second son of BF Avery, succeeded to the Presidency upon the retirement of his brother. The brilliance of his administration under his leadership came the completion and occupation of the new factory, the dream of his youth, the labor of his career.
George C. Avery was a leader from the beginning. In his presence there was never a doubt as to where the authority lay. But throughout his term of office there was ever before him the spirit of his father’s faith and those who grew up around him have been in the same way imbued with motto of the Patriarch,
“To build well – to deal square”.
With the death of George C. Avery in 1911 there came to a close that chapter in the history of the business in which the BF Avery family took active part in its management. But in the BF Avery organization there were then , able men whose business training had found its beginning and its completion in the pursuit of the principles and ideals of the founder.
I am uncertain if this business is still thriving, but I did see a collectors association.  It certainly had it's place in American History as an amazing family owned business for many years!
