James P Allaire, the founder of the establishment for the manufacturer of steam engines and machinery, known as the Allaire Works, died this week, aged 73 years. Starting as a lad to learn a trade, he served his apprenticeship in the Novelty Works. In due time, Mr Allaire set up for himself in the world, and succeeded in founding the establishment which bears his name, and which has long since rivalled the great opposition concern - the Novelty Works - from which he graduated. The reputation of the Allaire Works was made by its founder, and the engines turned out by it have given dignity to American labor and safety to steam navigation.
Mr Allaire gave up his connexion with the establishment some years ago. He was, however, succeeded by a son in law, Mr Secor, in whose hands the works have lost none of their honorable prestige. The family of Allaires is a notable race of mechanics. Each started in life choosing his own trade and all have accumulated fortunes.
Anthony J Allaire, a brother of James P, follows the business, in which he commenced over forty years ago - that of plumbing.
The funeral of Mr James P Allaire takes place tomorrow.
