| Popis: | The “Wundermop,” manufactured and sold by the Massachusetts Division of the Blind of the State Department of Education is, without doubt, the best shop employment for blind people that has ever been undertaken. This industry became possible through the efforts of a blind man, who, after trying: out other available crafts, discovered that the best and easiest form of employment for the blind consisted in working yam. The result of his experiments was his invention of the Wundermop, which has proved its merits by an annual increase of sales from sixteen hundred dollars in 1906 to seventy-three thousand five hundred and thirty-one dollars and fifty-one cents in 1922, and this without special effort along selling lines. Better yet is the fact that the Wundermop has always paid all its employees good wages in addition to all other expenses of the mop department, with a large margin over to assist in carrying the other industries. Mop work, therefore, is heartily indorsed as the simplest and most profitable industry for the blind so far brought to our knowledge. —The Editor. |
