One type of fountain pen—a simple idea —brings £40,000 a year to its inventor. And the gimlet-pointed screw has produced more wealth than the majority of silver mines. The slightest ideas will reap fortunes sometimes. Charles Ponzi made over £2,000,000 by making benefit of exchange through the medium of international coupons, and would have escaped punishment had he not violated the U.S. postal laws. It may be your turn next to get a brain wave, which will provide a mansion and a comfortable annuity for the remainder of life. In any case, it will be everybody’s hope that, should ;t come, it will not be too late, as it was in the case of Mrs. Haigh of Bradford, who. after her death, was found to have been left a fortune of £14,200.
