Less than two months after the death of Benjamin Bell, the Works were placed up for auction. This seems to have been a mere formality, because Frank K. Bell bought the entire works, including stock, on May 12, 1892, for the incredibly low price of $11,260. The following morning, Frank Bell opened for business, continuing to use the name of B. Bell & Son. Frank Bell carried on the tradition of supplying the market with ploughs, cultivators, rollers, cutting-boxes, and reapers and mowers which continued to be the backbone of his business. Success seemed to be ongoing.

Unfortunately, for the Bell family and the Works, George W. Bell, at age 58, passed away in the fall of 1895. He had been connected with the Works for over thirty years as a sales manager and travelling salesman. He was well-known and respected throughout Ontario. He was interred in the Baptist Cemetery.

In 1890s, the Works was operating at near capacity. A night shift was added, bringing employment to a record seventy-five daily employees, along with monthly and juvenile people. The products manufactured at this time were similar to ones which had been made previously. They included straw and root cutters, ploughs, cultivators, harrows, turnip drills, mowers and reapers, ensilage cutters, jack screws, rollers, wheelbarrows, horse hoes, windmills, two-horse tread powers and bag trucks.
