Fo about sixty-five years our firm and its predecessors have been engaged in the manufacture, introduction, and Rale of improvements in cotton machinery. In 1816 Ira Draper, father of our senior, obtained a patent for a flyshuttle hand-loom, which had. decided advantages over those then in use. Not long after he invented the well-known Revolving Temple, which was extensively adopted on looms both in this and foreign countries. In 1825 James Draper, then of Wayland, Mass., his oldest son, succeeded to the business, which he followed until 1838, when bought out by E. D. Draper, of Uxbridge, Mass., another son, who had had many years' experience as overseer of weaving. In 1842 he moved to this location, and in 1852 the firm of E. D. & G. Draper was established. In 1868 E. D. Draper retiring, Wm. F. Draper was admitted to the copartnership, which continued under the style of George Draper & Son until 1877, when, with the admission of G. A. Draper, the present firm name of George Draper & Sons was adopted. In 1880 a fourth partner, E. S. Draper, was admitted.
