"Harry Wendt joined Buffalo Forge in its Buffalo plant in 1909. Two years later, receiving his degree in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell, Edgar became associated with Buffalo Steam Pump Company, a subsidiary, in North Tonawanda.
"The experience of both brothers in company operations was widespread and their progress continuous until, in 1929, following the death of their father, Henry Wendt, Harry became Chairman and Edgar became President. For forty-one years they have worked together as an unbeatable team.
"Edgar’s counsel as a Trustee of the Community Chest and the Philharmonic Orchestra has been most valuable. The National Association of Manufacturers has been benefited through his work as Director and a National Vice-President." - Buffalo Forge Company - History
