SMALL FOUNDATIONS OF FORTUNES. The offering for probate of the will of the late John Dwight reveals the fact that he made more than $1,000,000 by the manufacture of bicarbonate of soda. ‘The commerétial rewards of the manufacture of staple and special forms of drugs and chemical products and combinations are frequently enormous. The man who charged water with carbonic gas for soda fountain use left a handsome residence on Riverside Drive and an tomb in Greenwood. Emulsions of cod liver oil have made many millions, Great fortunes have been made from listerine. Pills and patent medicines have built palaces. * The history of manufacture is full of examples of fartunes amassed from small and relatively insignificant articles.
