THE patent metallic- tips on childree's
shoes are worth to the holder of the patent
02,000,000. The dancing negro, a familiar
toy, furnishes the inventor an income of

threader, a favorite article with the street -
corner vender, is worth 610,000 a year to
the man who owns the patent. The stylo-
graphic pen patent and the patent for the.
ordinary spring window shades each yield
the inventors an income equal to that of
11,000,000. The patent of Green's drive
well is said to be worth $2,000,000.
