BARBED WIRE.
A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
to Its Inventor.

A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
to Its Inventor.
The luckieSt invention in history"
said Il patent official. was that OF
barbed wire. 1t came about by acct
dent
Isaac L. Ellwoed was the inventor
of barbed wire. In his youth he lived
in De Kalb. ILL.,. and. having Il neighbor
whose pigs trespasSed on his garden,
he put up one day Il wire fence of his
own make. This fence had barbs and
points on it. 1t was queer and ugly,
but it kept out the pigs.
1T was a real barbed wire fence,
the first in the world, and there were
millions of money in it, but young ELL
wood and his friends laughed at its
freak appearance.
One day two strangers saw this
fence, perceived how well it kept out
the pigs, realized how cheap it was
realized. in n word. its value-and or
dered several tons of it from Ellwood.
Furthermore. they contracted to sell
for a term of years all the barbed wire
he could produce.
'EllwOod borrowed 81 900 and set UP
little factory. a few years later on
he bad paid back that loan and was
worth n small matter of $15000,00
