Hoffman Machinery was a company in Syracuse, New York, a manufacturer of "Sanitary Steam Knit Goods Presses" for the textile industry. W. B. Harden was their advertising manager. [American Wool and Cotton Reporter, Nov. 10, 1921, p. 104.] The Syracuse Triplex Presser Company produced garment presses and as of 1922 was "a comparatively new company." [Textile World, September 16, 1922, p. 37] Harden's connection with this company is unknown.
