DURING the Hudson-Fulton celebration of October, 1909, Burgomaster Van Leeuwen, of Amsterdam , member of the delegation sent officially from Holland to escort the Half Moon and participate in the functions of the anniversary, paid a visit to the Edison laboratory at Orange to see th~ inventor, who may be regarded as pre-eminent among those of Dutch descent in·this country. Found, as usual, hard at work-this time on his cement house, of which he showed the iron molds-Edison took occasion to remark that if he had achieved anything worth while, it was due to the obstinacy and pertinacity he had inherited from his forefathers.
