ANTHONY ADAMS.

The business career of Anthony Adams during the past thirty-eight years has progressed with the growth of the town of Stafford Springs, of which he is an inseparable unit. He is one of it's pioneer merchants, and each increase in the population of the borough has found a corresponding in crease in the number of his customers
 So quickly has he developed that it has been necessary several times for him to remove to larger quarters, until at last he has had building built to suit his needs, and his address is now East Main Street, near the post-ofice.
 MT. Adams deals in stoves, ranges, tinware and kitchen furnishings of all kinds, crockery, glassware, and makes speciality of plumbing, steam and hot water heating, construction work for sewers, and all steam fitting supplies. He has one of the largest and best plumbing establishments this side of New York.
 MT. Adams has not been permitted to relegate himself to the ranks of tho mere business men. His clear judgment, his energy and his forcefulness have long been demanded by the town gov

 This was in 1881, and MT. Bradway then began the study of the problem of controlling the water by means of gates, in a turbine wheel. In 1885 he took out the first patent for the turbine water wheel and water motor, which are now in such common use, and which he manufactures at West Stafford.
 MT. Bradway has recently installed his wheels in the plants of the Windom Manufacturing Company at Willimantic and the Quabog Leather Company at Palmer. He makes his own electricity for light and power, and is assisted in the work by his three sons, Marshall L., Spencer H. and Carl H. Bradway.
 The manufacturing plant is fitted with modern conveniences for the con- struction of water wheels, etc. MT. Bradway's residence is nearby. In ad- dition to his machine shop, MT. Brad way manages grain mill in West Staf- ford.

 By close, personal attention to all the details of their business, they have built up very large clientele, and have al- ways made it a point to have the very best facilities for handling the work. Their large coal pocket is a model of its kind. It is 6ox4O feet, and has storage capacity of two thousand tons. A spur track runs from the Central Vermont Railroad to this building, and by system of screens and chutes, only the best coal falls into the wagons
 Their livery stable is near by, and is equipped with all kinds of carriages, hacks, sleighs, etc. Twenty horses are in constant use, and it requires ten em- ployees to care for the business. Charles B. Gary is prominent member of the local lodge of Odd Fellows.

Born in South Glastonbury, Conn.,, he showed his inventive genius when very young. He had small trip hammer as a toy and invented water wheel to drive it. A year or so later he made much larger water wheel that was used for driving machinery that ground wood.
 When only fifteen years old, MT. Bradway remodeled the Boyden wheel, converting it into Hume wheel, and when but eighteen he built a wheel after his own designs, and was about to put them on the market when fire destroyed the shop and all his patterns.
 MT. Bradway then went to Phila- delphia and other cities in Pennsyl- vania, where he remained for fifteen years, engaged in another occupation When he returned to Connecticut he found that wheel, identical with that invented by him and whose patterns

So much of the financial success of textile mills depends upon the utiliza- tion of water power, that it is essential that the water wheels used shall be of the very best. The fact that twelve of the largest woolen mills in the East are located in Stafford, where the tur- bine water wheels of Charles P. Brad way are made, is very significant. It shows, first of all, that MT. Bradway's wheels are recognized as the standard, and second, that each one has "made good" in it's home field, for his manu- featuring plant at West Stafford is running at full capacity all the time.
