Another piece of ingenuity to come
from the brain of a Watervile man is
a handkerchief display holder that has
been invented and patented by Robert
c. Morrow, who has been connected
with the Wardwell Dry Goods Co as
salesman. The holder is intended to
do away with the time-worn way of
displaying handkerchefs in boxes.
Mr.. Morrow's invention consists of two
fat boards, which fit into each other
so as to form four winged body with
eight sides. This revolves on a small
stand. On each side of each wing are
Eve wire holders and under these can
be placed six handkerchefs or three
on each side. At the top is small
place into which price card may be
inserted A. customer is able to see 40
different kinds of handkerchiefs while
bv the old way he or she could see but
five. The whole thing is best describ-
ed by saying that ii operates on the
same plan as revolving post card dis
play stand Mr.. Morrow took his i'll.
vention out for the first time, Friday,
ard showed it to Watervlle mer-
chants. 1t will undoubtedly be in great
