PLAN No. 468. COLLECTING BRASS TEAKETTLES

A woman made a comfortable living by collecting old brass teakettles and old furniture from the homes of well-to-do people, second-hand dealers, etc., and advertising them as antique wares. One room in her home was used for displaying these articles, and many persons called to see them, with the result that they were rapidly disposed of at a good profit.
