From Urine to Millions,

One of the richest women in New York
began life as u girl down in Maine by col
lecliug t,ipe, which was so plentiful and
so despised that it was thrown away. She
discovered its value as food in cities and
began the work of bringing it together in
quantity, and employing children TO clean
and prepare it for market. She created in
this way an actual industry, which as
summed large proportions but which she
left in other hands when she had made
money enough to risk coming TO New
York. In this city she began by acting as
agent for u corset manufactures, but
