BIRTH OF THE LINEN COLLAR
According to History, Riacksmith's
Wife Invented Modern Mans
Greatest Affiiction.

The wife of a Troy IN. " black
smith is said to have been the first
person TO have made separate collars
for mems shirts. This happened in
1925, and men have been suffering
ever since. Outside of inventing the
separate collar, this woman did the
family washing.
Accordingly she set herself to work
making separate collars for her hus-
bands shirts and then made enough
to sell outside the home. This innova-
ton attracted the attention of Rev.
EbeneZer Brown, a retired Methodist
minister, and he, with the aid of the
women of his family, went about sell
ing collars. This was in 1929.
All the work on these early collars
was done by hand, for the sewing ma
chine had not yet been invented. In
those days not more than a dozen col
lars a day were sold. Their name
"string collars"-was specially appro-
pirate, for they were tied around the
neck with a string of tape attached to
each end of the collar. Except the
bands, the first separate collars were
generally all linen and of two thick
nesses, although some were faced with
cotton cloth. They were slightly stiff
fened and had high points extending
above the chin on either side.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

positive facts Of this property are as
stated. The district, too. has been
covered in detail by Uncle Sans geo
logic scientists. These impartial
workers have recorded their o. X. as
to Rochester officially. and the same
record pronounces Rochester as a
great mine field. Upon such facts this
prophetic view is allowable.
It is an outline for great future at
tainments. II will, in time, when its
vast stores of wealth, hidden from
time immemorial. become useful and
~serviceable to the higher needs of
man, make Rochester known to fame
as is the Comstock.

ance and faith which is combining a

His is a virile brain of action and
