Re: Information Regarding S. & B. Lederer Co. and Providence Stock Co.
Judge Brown in the United States Circuit Court last week handed down an opinion in the suit brought by Edwin F. Robinson against the S. & B. Lederer Co., asking that the defendants be adjudged in contempt of an injunction restraining the concern from selling a patented swivel known as the Robinson swivel. The court finds that the defendant, while technically guilty of contempt, was not wilful or intentional in its violation of the order of the court. It holds that there was no pecuniary reason why the defendant should deliberately violate the injunction, so small is the value of the swivels. The court holds that while the penalty should be such as would induce greater carefulness in the future, it should be measured by the amount of damage which the complainant has sustained through the defendant corporation’s disobedience, together with the costs and legal expenses incurred by the complainant upon this application. The amount of these costs will be fixed at a future hearing, if the parties in the case fail to reach an agreement.

Sigmund L. Lederer
Providence, R. I., March 22.—Sigmund L. Lederer, treasurer of the S. & B. Lederer Co., and president of the Providence Stock Co., both identified with the manufacturing jewelry industry, died yesterday at his home, 72 Mawney Street, after an illness of several months, in his 86th year. He was one of the oldest manufacturing jewelers in the country, both in age and association with the industry, and few concerns were better known throughout the trade than the two of which he was the active and directing force for many years. Mr. Lederer was also identified with large realty holdings in this city, and financially interested in several manufacturing and commercial corporations.
He was born in Austria, Feb. 2, 1850, and came to the United States at the age of 17, settling at Attleboro, Mass., where he larned the jewelry trade. Coming to Providence, he formed a partnership in 1874 with his brother, the late Benedict B. Lederer, and the late Edward F. Seery, for the manufacture of jewelry under the name of Seery & Lederer, located in Summer Street. Three years later the Lederers acquired Mr. Seery’s interests and the firm style was changed to S. & B. Lederer Co.
In 1882 they acquired the land at the corner of Stewart and Conduit Streets, and erected a five story brick block to take care of their rapidly growing business. In May, 1899, they purchased the business of William K. Atwood, then located on Mason Street, which specialized in high grade gold-filled chains. In July of that year both the S. & B. Lederer Co. and the Providence Stock Co. were incorporated under the laws of Rhode Island. Owing to the increase in their business the Lederers late in 1899 began two additional stories to their building, making seven stories, also an annex on Stewart Street. Upon the completion of these additions the Atwood plant was hemoved thereto.
From time to time the Lederers acquired by purchase several manufacturing jewelry plants whose names were prominent in the trade a quarter to half a century ago.
His widow, four daughters, twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren survive.
