r Tlie Consolidation League of Brooklyn. 83 James was educated in the public schools of his native town, and at the ageof fifteen entered his fathers store. Under his fathers direction, he receiveda rigid training in sound mercantile methods, and in the course of time de-veloped such a marked capacity for business that he was admitted to the firm,of which he is still an active member, and to the success of which he haslargely contributed. From the earliest inception of the Consolidation move-ment he has earnestly supported Messrs. Stranahan, Dutcher and other lead-ing advocates in Brooklyn, and upon the formation of the ConsolidationLeague in 1892, was chosen its President, which position he held until thework of the League was finished. With this exception he has never heldpublic office, but has always been interested in public affairs. From 1860to 1867 he was a member of the old volunteer fire department, and was one ofthe most enthusiastic and efficient fire laddies of the time. Am
