Infant industry with ivory gates and golden dome building
In this verse by McLandburgh Wilson from the N Y Sun, an infant industry is depicted as a tall, all‑in‑one enterprise housed in a tiny, ivory‑gated, golden‑domed structure. The factory runs day and night, ships leave by six at night, and the owner, drummer, and worker are unified. The four‑year old business faces little competition and enjoys loyal trade, while a child named Mabel toys with the idea of selling a kiss.
