easterly towards Coweset pond, &c. Notwith- standing the town do reserve the liberty to themselves, if they see cause, to set up a town mill upon the same river, &c. Said John Mi- carter hath liberty to raise Coweset pond two feet if occasion be for it, &c."
This grant indicates that there were no other fulling mills in the State at that time, from the statement that the "Said John Micarter shall always be ready to do the town's work upon as reasonable terms as they can have it done else- where in states about us." This also makes it quite plain that there were fulling mills in Con- necticut and Massachusetts then in operation.
Now as to the first textile printing plant in America: East Greenwich claims a Mr. Daw- son was printing linen cloth there which was spun, woven and bleached by the women of the village as early as about 1780. "As there was little or none of the calico in the shops for sale, every family made their own cloth and then carried it to the printing establishment to be printed, each person selecting their own pattern and colors. The patterns were very neat and pretty, and the colors remarkably brilliant ; but those brilliant tints were owing to the material on which they were printed, as linen will take color better than cotton."
These printed linens were considered as cost- ly in those days as the silks and velvets of the present time, and full as stylish. In 1794 Messrs. Schaub, Tisset and Dubosque were do- ing printing in Providence, and since that time the printing of textiles, principally cotton goods, has gradually increased until at present the State ranks among the leaders in the line of print goods.
The town of Warwick, it will be observed, when it granted John Micarter the right to set up a fulling mill within its borders, reserved the right for the town to carry on the same business if its representatives should decide that such a thing was desirable. Such a clause prevented the class of monopoly that to-day is often car- ried along with the grants that are made by some of the towns at the present time, and this particularly applies to the Legislature in grant- ing franchises in the city of Providence, with- out any clause attached that shall protect the people in their natural rights, where exigencies arise that cannot be seen when the grants are made.

AND BUSINESS MEN OF RHODE ISLAND.
General Fire Extinguisher Co .- Manufacturers of the Grinnell Automatic Sprinklers. The Providence Steam and Gas Pipe Co. were the pioneers in the manufacture of automatic sprink- lers in America, which have proven so much of a blessing in the saving of valuable property throughout the manufacturing world. The General Fire Extinguisher Company was the outcome of this invention, which amounted to a consolidation of the business of that company and that of other companies endeavoring to manufacture a similar sprinkler. This organ-
various other valuable features not to be found in an equal degree in any other similar apparatus on the market.
It has been in extensive and steadily growing use now for a number of years, and has made a record that is unparalleled in the history of fire extinguishers. The fact that the Grinnell sprink- ler had extinguished up to January Ist, 1896, twenty-five thousand recorded fires, (and of course many more not reported), at an average loss of less than $250 per fire, (and at practically no loss in a large proportion of these fires),
GENERAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER CO
General Fire Extinguisher Co. Plant, West Exchange Street, Providence, R. I.
ization was completed in 1893, when the busi- ness was incorporated with a capitalization of $1,000,000. The company control nearly all of the patents that are counted valuable in the making of automatic sprinklers.
The Grinnell Sprinklers are a triumph in their way, and represent the highest achieve- ment in automatic fire extinguishing apparatus. Simple in design and perfect in costruction and operation, these sprinklers are in use the wide world over. They have adequate structural strength to resist water pressure, combined with quick action in case of fire, and possess
emphasizes the value of the "Grinnell" as a fire arrester. Every Automatic sprinkler manufac- tured by the General Fire Extinguisher Com- pany is fully warranted as to quality of material and workmanship, and is guaranteed to do its work promptly, efficiently and satisfac- torily.
The works of the company are located on West Exchange street, Providence, and they are very extensive. A new brick addition to the plant is now being completed. Frank H. Maynard is the General Manager of the company.
