tried for several years to interest
leather men in it, but they simply
laughed ut him. One firm, however,
as an experiment., looked up the pat

trial, it is said, was a great success,
the leather being produced more
cheaply than by the old method, and
OF quality so superior that wherever
il was introduced it drove out the old
leather, as the electric light has driven
out gas. Competitors of the expert
mcnting firm saw their trade going,
and they could not understand how
the better leather that was making In
roads upon their business was pro-
! duced. But the German inventor I'M
derstood, and saw his opportunity.
| He went to one of the injured firms
and explained that 1T was his patent
process that made the new leather,

the patent for $50, 600 or $50, 900, with

the patent proved a success, he sho"lN

How MiIliOnaires Are Made.

The present site of Chicago was sold
by the Indians for three cents an acre.
Taking the most valuable corner lot in
the business part of the city as cri.
terion, the value has increased 13O,.
600, 900 per cent. In 1880, when there
were fifty people scattered around Fort
Dearborn, quarter ofan acre of land
IN what is known as the ''heart of
Chicago" could have been purchased
for $50.
In the past sixty three years there
were ONLY two years in which the city
did not show nm increase in popula-
arr&ho=.,zsxinDs,zz
there were thirteen years during that
time when this quarter of All acre OF
, land showed decrease in value, ac-
cording to tie r, o.. < "pl"aise'
ment.
The greatest increase per cent. re-
corded was i'll 1885, when it rose IL
value 400 per cent over the value oi
the previous year. With our latest

easy to picture the vision the owner
must have had of the future glory o

his corner lot from 5000 in 1884 t.

AS she came laundering tlown toward
