to William Wall, Nathaniel Smelling,
Robert Treat and others, then living in
Boston. on condition that if they would
nave a certain number of settlers on it in
given time they should have incorpora.
ton from the Mass. assembly. The first
settler was Joseph Gross, who left Fort
Pownal. about three miles from the mouth
of Eastern river, and settled OH the lot
now owned and occupied by Luther Hig-
gins. This was in 1884. The next year
Eben. brother to Joseph. came from
Boston aud settled on what is called Gross
Point. The third was Joseph Viles who
came from Milton Mass. and placed himself
near Gross on what is now called the Per-
ry farm. in sc. Mr. Viles built the first
framed house on the plantation in II.

and patentable inventions Is far 10 excess Of the
generally conceived idea. Many meritorious
inventions fail of receiving patent through
being intrusted to solicitors unacquainted with
the intricaces of the Patent Office, and much
time and money Is oftcn lost in asce-;aining the
paten,ablity Of articles. where a solicitor OF
long standing could judge Of conflicting claims
ut once.
MIR Edjy's long experience renders him per-
fectly du fat on outstanding patents. and his
constant intercourse with the Patent Office,
for full generation. gives him assurance of
the speediest and most favorable attention to
al! matters intrusteG to his charge. American
inventors owe Mr.. Eddy debt of gratitude for
his incesssnt efforts which secured them the
right OF patenting designs and Trademarks
against all limitations.
Parties DESTROYS OF obtaining American or
Foreign Patents cannot do better than TO con-
suit MIR. Eddy. Thev will be sure Of courteous
treatment, judicous advice. and moderate
charges.
