6. IN the present age of inventions, important
that the inventor should moi be deprived and defrau
ded of the benefits Of their Inventions BY artfu and design
ing men, but the contrary enjoy and have the benefits
of those rights secured TO them by the laws the
try"
The subscriber having lately seen an advertisement in the
newspapers published Montpelier signed by Z. A. Webb
Co stating substance that they deter tomako
and sell Lester Tden's improved patent cooking Stove
and offering 10 indemnify all those who will purchase
OF them or their agents:
Now this is notify the public that The in question
is new and useful invention and the greatest improve
mcnt in the cooking stove, acknowledged by all who have
used then the said Webb Co. excepted that
there has been in The United Sales and that the said
Town and RoweI stove, mentioned in said Webb & Co.'S.
advertisement has no analogy in principle orinven the
said Tden stove, and has been decided by the bes
chancs who best qualified Judge. The curved plate
referred to in said Webb Cos advertisement the own
is hing nor less than plate running
through the centre ofh stove and unde which the
fire passes the ue, and put into said Town stove
merely for the purpose Ct supporting the stove and has no
to do with the said Tiden than it would put
circular curved plate in the centre Of Conans any other
stove; that the SAID Tldens is entirely nyen
tom Now submit to the candor of the public, whether
Messrs. Webb & Co, justified in the course they
pursuing in trying deceive The public induce the people
to buy their stoves when they well know that every person
who buys of them liable 10 be prosecuted and
pay damage We further that the that
said Webb and Co. have taken this
is this they tried purchase right Of us TO make and sell
our stoves, bu, being unwilling TO pay what thought
ought have they have chosen take the they
have thinking they might not be subjected TO pay
much damages asked them for the right of selling
Now word answer 10 J l. and G G Robinson and
Darius Rowes advertisements in said papers. In the
first place said Robinson the city OF Washington
last Fall model of said Rowe's stove for the purpose
supposed of getting patented but for this very
good twas found trial moi to be worth any hing
I'd. If the Rowe stove an Improvement they could not
by the laws relative ents get patentight for the
they have suffered TO be used by The public before
obtaining patent. Now there is thing which would
be satisfactory every candid mind 10 show that
right and that the said Webb and Co. and l. and 6
Robinson and Darius S Rowe's advertisements are delu-
sve and without truth that this If the said Tldens
is great improvement all other stoves, why have
they abandoned their Town and Rowe and gone
making and selling ours
"Comment is unnecessary"
In view of the foregoing therefore, caution the public
against purchasing stoves which tho said Webb and
Co. have denomlnated The Farmers Cooking Sove,' be-
ing the thai the said Lester Tilden has paen
right every who purchases of said Webb
Co. said l. and G @ Robinson their agents. or from
any other person than agents. liable to be sued
will be by u.s. determined that said Webb and Co.
nor Diners shall cheat of the benefit of said
ton. And if our lives spared shall commence suits
against all who infringe right without consulting
opponents how shall do how long shall pu
it off, but we shall take time
