Cotton-Square-Gathering Device

Patent for cotton square gathering device will "provide a gatherer by means of which the punctured squares can be quickly collected off of the ground without compelling the user to bend, as ordinarily, with the result that a much smaller number of people can gather the punctured squares in a given area than has been possible heretofore in a given length of time" (lines 21 - 28).
