E. Wright a millionaire. Twenty-five years ago he was looking for a meadow. Two 40-acre tracts were offered to him at a dollar an acre, but a hay mower was, thrown in free with one piece of land to attract a buyer. That mowing machine led him to choose the 40 acres from which he has received $1,000,000 in lead and zine royalties. Wright still owns the land, but he cannot use it for raising hay, because: some of the best ‘lead and zinc mines in Kansas are located on it.
