| AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. To the rapid strldei
| of American inventive genius is to be greatly
| ascrbed our leading position among the grea
| producing nations of the earth. Where Labor
| in all departments is so well paid, il is neces
| sarv to call in improved machinery a. an aux
| Hilary. in order to compete with the cheap labo
of foreign countries. Without our moving
reaping and threshimg machines, andsother i'm
proved agricultural implements, the vast West
ern country would be slowly developed, an,
both hemispheres would miss large portion o
our present immense cereal crop. So in Othe
| industries, and in all mechanic arts the worl
| of the inventor simpliies the labor of produc
ton and multiplleS the products of ndustr'
MANY fold. The increase i'll the business Of tn
| United States Patent Office, within a few years
| shows the eXhauslcss ingenuity that is ben
constantly concentrated upon the elimination Q
ideas that shall meet the popular want wit
articles of use and ornament, at prices With
the reach of all.
Inventors often fail of securing 4 patent 10
really valuable articles through exercising to
little care in the selection of a solicitor to tran
sact their business with the Patent Office; an
many are put to much needless expense
striving to secure letters patent for articles o
designs either unpatentable in their nature 0
merely resuscitations of something heretofor
patented. Mr.. R. II. Eddy of Boston, who's
card appears in our paper to-day, is thorough
conversant with all details necessary to speedil
procure foreign and American patents, Will
his experience and success for more than thirt
!, years in the business give him the confidence
, all those wishing to file caveats, procul
patents, extensions, or secure trademarks an
