Hello Forum,
I found the following info. In 1878 it began manufacturing the “Gentlemen’s Boston Garter,” a sock
supporter that had been recently patented by F. Barton Brown that proved to be a
successful endeavor for the company.8 By 1891, the company was incorporated and
became known as the George Frost Company.9 During the 1890s and early 1900s the
company became very successful and expanded its production facilities to include several
locations in Boston, as well as mills in New Jersey and Connecticut.10 The George Frost
Company’s trademark products were its “Boston Garter” and “Velvet Grip” Hose
Supporters.
