Louis Wain Fact #6:
He had at least three patents, a “Steady Cycle” in 1894, a “New Attachment to Bicycles” in 1895, and “Rangefinder” in 1915, and had invested in the inventor of a ‘near everlasting lamp’ in America. These were unfortunately later abandoned, and all further details have been lost.

SHOP-BOY: "Since we had this notice in the shop-window 'Old Boots polished up to look like new,' they keeps coming in all day long. I wish this 'ere Cherry Blossom Boot Polish had never been invented."
OLD CAT: "Ah, my lad, don't you wish you could invent some-thing half as useful?"
