Biographical notes:

William Allison opened a store in July 1827 with James and John Potter at Browns Mills (now Reedsville, Pa.). When the firm dissolved in 1829, Allison carried on the business alone for a few years, moved to Spring Mills, and in 1847, as a significant creditor, purchased the factory, hotel, and real estate at Potters Mills (Centre Co., Pa.) when the brothers' business failed. Allison relocated to Potters Mills and moved into James' residence.
