Special Comments: 

Lecher shows an ad for this shaker in V2 P.181. This ad is for the Acme Salt by Acme MFG. Company. The shaker shown is marked Eagle MFG. Company. The date on the Acme shaker is July 26th 1881, the date on the Eagle Shaker is July 26th 1881. Was this patent sold shortly after it was invented or was there such a demand that Acme couldnt keep up and jobbed it out?
