New Orleans Exposition to Exhibit Patents and Models
A wide display of machinery, patent models, and full size machines opens in New Orleans in December. The patent office has issued nearly 300,000 patents since 1836, with Massachusetts shoe factory patents boasting high output. A Chinaman educated in Springfield reflects on becoming an American citizen. International debt figures are compared, noting per head costs in Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Britain, and Spain. A pickle recipe for buttered string beans is given, followed by a dry September memory from Puck.
