Perkins (who became a Morgan partner) when he sold $250,000 worth of life insurance in Iowa his first year as a salesman (1886). New York...
...idea men, indefatigable purveyors of small ingenuities, perpetual optimists who swell the total of U. S. patents to some 50,000 a year.

His patented cow-tail restrainer was on display last week among 484 other inventions...
