Any old iron, rags and bones. Buy what the street throws out, and sell it by weight.

A horse and cart, a bell or a shout, and a pocket of pennies, balloons and goldfish to pay for whatever the street wants rid of. Rags go to the paper mills and the shoddy trade, metal to the scrap yards and bones to the glue and fertiliser works. The margin is in sorting well and knowing which merchant pays most, and in the war salvage becomes a public duty.
