The Frank S. Betz Company was founded in 1895 (incorporated March 2, 1904) by Frank S. Betz in Chicago, Illinois. Its industry was medical supplies and steel furniture and its headquarters were in Chicago, Illinois (1895-1904) and Hammond, Indiana (1904-1937). In 1937 the company was sold to the A. S. Aloe Company and subsequently shut down and auctioned off.
