Peter Cooper.

Peter Cooper was born in the city Of
New York, Feb 49, 1891, and died
there on the 9Th Of April, 1888. His
family were distinguished for their I'M
wavering devotion to the cause Of
American independence. His father
was Lieutenant in the patriot army,
and his maternal grandfather sacrificed
u large fortune in the cause of free
dom. Up to bis seventeenth year, Peter
followed the various avocations of his
father-hatter, brewer, brick maker
and again brewer-which he carried on
in Peekslill, Catskill, Brooklyn ant
.Newburg, n. Y. During his apprentice
ship to the coach making business,
which lasted four years, from:
his 18th to his Dist year, he in
vented mortising machine, which was
of much pecuniary benefit to his master,
but none to himself. Without capital,
he went to work making machi' es fol
shearing cloth, for which he was paid
ST. 80 day for three years. Atthe enc
of that time he had saved enough
money to buy the right of the State o.
New York for manufacturing the ma
chimes, and embarked In business on his
own account He was successful, anC
aided his father and, as he naively said.
I'm consequence of this my father new
er had the modification Of failing il
business. The same is true of my OWL
affairs So far as ever having failed il
business, do not remember the week
OF month when every man who worked
for me did not get his pay when it wa
due" The wool-shearlng machine
business became valueless when the
war of 1912 commenced. In this con
nection it is interesting to note that th.
principle of these machines was pre-
cisely the same as the one now used S,
largely in reapersand moving machines
At the termination Of the machine
business Mr.. Cooper bought twenty
years lease of two houses and six lots
of ground, where the Bible House.

tute. He erected some wooden build

ness for three years Soon after he
purchased glue factory. between
Thirty first and Thirty-fourth streets.
which he carried on for twentg -one
years, and then removed the business
to Brooklyn, where it is continued at
the present time.
In 1928 Mr.. Cooper purchased !,
large lot of land in and abort thecitv
of Baltimore, Md, and established The

Leading Republican Newspaper
Of the Central States, and the only
Republican paper in Cincinnati.
1t gives the news with every de-
sirable detail decently, and it has no
