Early Man in Mexico
It was a limited world, this globe of ours, in
1492. Except for small groups of scientifically
inclined persons, men felt satisfied that they
had been in almost every corner of the world.
Columbus did not want to find a New World.
He just wanted to get to a part of his world by
a road that no one else had thought of taking
before. By the new route he hoped to sail
comfortably to rich lands, load up his vessels
with silks and spices, and go back to Spain for
his rewards. Suddenly, in front of him, the
outposts of America appeared. He thought he
was close to his goal and, because he was
seeking the Indies, he called the peoples he
found ‘Indians’.
THE CHARM OF POSTCARDS
It was the year 1861 when john Charlton used
a piece of rigid card instead of a sheet of paper
and an envelope. As beffited an
entrepreneurial kind of man, he popped into
the patent office on the way to the post office.
The clerks thought the idea was as sensible as
self-tying shoelaces, but as “the customer is
always right”, they patented his “design for a
letter which anybody can read”.
Charlton, by no means put off by the clerks’
comments, decided to make money on his
idea. He started a campaign by simply visiting
offices and shops offering his goods. In a few
months his effort paid off and the owner of a
stationery warehouse, a certain Hayman
Lipman, bought the licence and started
distributing tastefully ornamented cards. An
appropriate note added that Lipman was also
the patent-holder for such a form of
correspondence.
