A Fortune Made Out of KnOthOles

disks, about the size OF a dollar, glis-
tening brightly in the sunshine, They
had cheerful look, like money.
The disks had been cut from the
tops of new cans, to admit the fruit in
packing. They were thrown away be-
cause they seemed TO be Of no imagin-
able use, and there was no market for
them.
Young Solomon thought about them
quite lot. He kept on thinking, and
one night, reused from slumber, he
suddenly sat up in bed. The big idea
had struck him.
Quietly, the next day, he started in
to buy up the entire visible supply Of
tin disks from the frpit-packers, who
were glad TO get rid of them at IS a
ton, Then he was ready for business
There was at that time an eXtraor-
dinary demand for lumber in San
Francisco, the city being in process Of
rebuilding after the great fire. Even
poor lumber was hard to get in ade-
quate quantities. Every plank was
precious.
AOuHb pOAplAioh went " Ste " ldIBC
contractor. He said: Il have come
to speak to you about knotholes."
Thanks" replied the contractor,
but we have plenty"
THAT is Just the point" explained
Solomon. "A considerable fraction of
your lumber has so many knotholes
as to be useless. l can fix them for
you"
"A knothole Is knothole," said the
contractor. 1T is incurable. But
here's a plank with a dozen of them.
Show me-"
Young Solomon very quickly showed
him how each knothole could be COW
cred up by tacking over 1t tin disk
This done, the plank was perfectly
good for building purposes.
There were no tin disks obtainable
in San Francisco except from Solomon
He had cornered the supply, and soon
sold all he had at an average price
of 5000 ton-his profit. $195 a ton
Next, he directed his attention to
the fish canneries, where similar tin
disks from can-tops were thrown away
in quantities. But they were only
about the size of a dlme-too small
10 cover knotholes. Evidently another
! Idea was wanted.
How about toys? Many Japanese
toys on sale in San Francisco were
made in part Of similar disks. Solo.

which was used hundred years ago.
when housewives treasured linens that
were spun and woven from wool on
the home farm: One pound Of wash
