Certain old men, women andxhildren may be seen daily in all parts of the city gathering up old bones. This branch of business started about four years since, and it gives employ- ment to hundreds, almost thousands of poor people in Phila- delphia. Many of them are able to earn from 50 cents to $1 each day by these small gatherings by the way side, and these save themselves and their children from want, or per- haps the penitentiary. In this county there are several large establishments where th...ese bones are purchased. One in Moyamensing pays out more than $100 each week for these apparently worthless materials, gathered in every part of Philadelphia. Bones gathered up in this way, and from such sourer*, one could hardly imagine aie o f any value. But the variety of purposes to which they are put, shows in political economy that nothing is literally worthless. The bones are assorted and each particular kind is put to a specific purpose. Some are made into neat's foot oil. Others are sold to knife and umbrella makers, while another portion is used by comb, brush and button manufacturers.
