Do you have a label with that name? If so, please post a photo of the label -- and a garment to which it might be attached,

I am sorry to be slow with a reply. I had jury duty this week and was kept rather busy with that. I didn't find great deal of information about your label, but will post what I found...

This first item gives you a start date (roughly)...

...and whenever I found announcements of these blowout sales of well-known labels it was invariably because the company was closing...

...the president of Benson &Partners in 1969...and I have to run out now and will post more later

Benson & Partners partners Sam, Jack, Irving Benson...

Irv(ing) Benson of Benson & Partners in 1972. Perhaps you can find information by searching for Irving, Sam, or Jack Benson...

Carol Horn was apparently one of Benson & Partners' most successful designers...

Last Benson & Partners item is a 1969 reference to their designer Alice Blaine...
