Description	Front caption reads: "Where Mr. Patterson started in business as a canal collector." Back caption reads: "Third and Kenton Sts., Dayton, Ohio, where John H. Patterson, founder of the National Cash Register Company, started his career as a canal tolls collector in 1868, and opened a coal and wood business as a sideline." John H. Patterson founded the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, Ohio. Patterson (1844-1922), hoping the machines could save him money by reducing accounting errors in his supply business, purchased the patent rights to the cash register from James Ritty in 1884. Within six months, he reduced his debt and showed a profit. Patterson built the first National Cash Register factory on his family farm in Dayton in 1888. By the turn of the century, the company had become one of the largest employers in Dayton. Known for his strict training program for salespeople and health and education programs for employees, Patterson was closely involved in the daily lives of many of his employees.
