Find a Fortune in Sewers.

The revenue last year from the Bradford corporation’s grease factory amounted to over $250,000. This sum represents what other people have thrown away, for the grease is extracted from waste products of the wool industry the English clt|y. When the crude wool is washed at Bradford some of its natural fat is washed into the sewers. By collecting the. “sludge” and extracting the fatty substances', the city is able to dispose of about 120 tons of valuable grease per week.
