Burton McNicol

McNicol, Burton & Co. was founded by Adolph Fritz, William McClure, John McNicol, Patrick McNicol, William Burton Sr., William Burton Jr. and John Dover.  Within 6 months Fritz and McClure withdrew.  Later John Dover retired and John McNicol sold his interest to his sons, D. E. and H. A.  The company was a very successful pottery, expanding to the point where it employed 40 workers.  The company ceased to exist as McNicol, Burton & Co. on the death of Burton Sr. and the retirment of Burton Jr.  In 1892 it became the D. E. McNicol Pottery Co.
