The business at the shop increased and
Mr.. Alcott took his son, Thomas J., into
partnership, and in 1872 the latter secured
letters patent, for wheel of his own con.

advantages. During the same year the
senior member of the firm died, and the
new wheel was not manufactured until

money, To every ones surprise the
children contributed during that year
over $4,000 as their Centennial offering
for education" This sum having been
properly invested, it was decided thai
only the interest ever should be used, and
every year collections were asked to in.
