OF the Sc signatures to the Declara-

is that of Button Gwinnett. one OF

$4,000 and In January of the same
year for SO 500. In November. 1924,
another signature brought $4,000 at
sale In New York.
A complete set of the SlgnerS is
masterpiece of autograph gathering.
But MIR. Gwinnett was apparently
chary of writing or even signing docu-
ments. Only one letter of his is said
20 be eXtant. All his known sigma
lures number less than 80. of which
more than half are held by libraries
and institutions and so not likely ever

dated June 30. 1867. has been found
recently on legal paper in Georgia
courthouse. He wrote little and was
the second of the slgners TO die. a
duel ended his life in 1I1I.
Gwinnett;s autograph price began
rising d few years ago. The Sl4,o0o
was given for a signature on bond.
Soon after that was paid plans were
announced for the sale OF several
Gwinnett signatures from private col
lections-a feast for the collectors
after a famine.

founded a firm making cheap pictures

,Ipon the coming of the telegraph as
his opportunity for an enormous eX-
expansion of his slowly developing in
dustry. He started with = sets Of
designs, the next year there were 20,
the third year so. He obtained the
aid of professional artists and his
competitive exhibitions of the paint
ings to be reproduced on his cards
were attended by such crowds as
nowadays throng the movies.
He went one year TO every one OF
the ROYAL AcademiCians with re-
quests for new designs and not few
f5upd il consistent with their dignity
TO ACCEPT his offers. Famous poets
wrote verses for his cards, But Ten

terprtsing promoter of an industry
which he had himself created spent
many weary weeks in conference with
