until March 6, 1837, when he made a partnership agree­ment


with his half- brother, E. D. Draper, by which the


latter assumed active control.

In our recently published " Textile Texts" on page 16


appears a rough estimate of the spindles in use in various


countries at the end of the century. In" Dixie" of June 19


appears a table received from Deputy Consul- General Ha­mauer


of Frankfort, Germany, rendered at a recent meeting


of German spinners at Leipzig. A comparison of statistics


prepared independently by authorities so widely s~ parated


may prove of interest.

SPINDLE STATISTICS.


In our loom circular of January, 1900, we stated:


(( We have never seen attempts at automatic looms in which


we could not find good grounds for suit should we deem them


of sufficient import.: tnce. "


Also: (( We shall defend our rights in the courts with the


obstinacy of convietzon J if such methods are necessary."

During the month of July, the Draper Company pre­sented


their evidence in their suit against the American


Loom Company of New Jersey ( and Readville, Mass.,)


claiming infringement of three of their patents by the


structures sold by the Defendant and known to the trade as

We have had requests at vari­ous


times, for small electrotypes


ofthe Northrop Loom, to be used in


printing letter heads, by overseers


of weaving, and for various other


purposes. We have a small supply


of cuts like that shown, which we


will be glad to furnish free to any of our friends who write


for them.


The above is a reprint from the advertising columns of


the Boston Daily Evening Transcript, Vol. I- No. I, issued


July 24. 1830'


It is not recorded that James showed any of his father's


inventive talent and he evidently had little taste for the


business, preferring the line of farming in which he was


eminently successful. In early life he was a soldier of the


war of 1812, and later became prominent in political and


religious activities. He died Dec. 5', 1870, leaving a nu­merous


progeny. Among his living descendants are Charles


H. Draper, Cashier of the First National Bank, Boston; Dr.


Frank W. Draper, Professor of Legal Medicine for Harvard


University and Medical Examiner for Suffolk County; and


Wallace S. Draper, Asst. Cashier of the National Shawmut


Bank.
