The small inventor Is an important
factor In the mechanical toy Susiness.
and he earns all OF the living he gets
IN thinking up devices. He is most con-
cerned with the small mechanical toys,
AMI, in addition to the primo requisite
of putting forth something novel, he
must get something which costs as lit.
tie as possible and which catches the
fancy of the multitude. This last point
is one which Is most difficult to cover.
No student Of the subject has ever yet
been able to discover or deduce the
cycle in which the public taste moves,
and 1t Is still hit or miss as to whether
figure which walks OH it's hands, an
airshlp with wings or nm acrobat who
works by gravity will be the best sell.
er Then, when the invention has been
achieved. the inventor has still the
