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 in the English city. When the crude wool is washed at Bradford some of its natural fat is washed into the sewejfe. By collecting the “sludge” «md extracting the fatty substances, the city is able to dispose of about 120 tons of valuable grease per week. <
