New Patent.

| Our ingenious friend of the Chatham
House, Mr.. Samuel Naylor, after having
experienced long series of difficulties
in securing the patent, and particularly
in perfecting arrangements with suita
bic and responsible establishment for the
manufacture of this new invention, has
finally succeeded; and has just received
the first installment of fifty dozen. This
new patent is known as Lamp Trimmer.
The design is entirely original with Mr..
Naylor, and is certainly an improvement
on anything of the kind that has yet
been produced. 1t is neat in design
simple in construction, and can be opera
ted by any person who can use pair of
scissors. Mr.. Naylor has a contract with
John Turner & Co., of Turner Falls,
Massachusetts, to manufacture these trim
mers by the wholesale, and it is very evil
dent, from a close examination of these
articles, and from the way they are al
ready selling, without, as yet, having
made any effort to place them in the mar
ket, that the demand will be very great,
and Sam has certainly bonanza wrapped
up III comparatively small investment.
Arrangements are now being perfected
whereby all of our citizens can obtain
one of these necessary articles, and it is
certain that after they have once seen
them and observed the manner in which
they save time, trouble and expense, and
the vast improvement they make in the
light gwen by lamp, no person will
be satisfied without becoming the pos
SCISSOR of such great convenience. The
longer these trimmers arc used the better
they become. One will last person a
lifetime, and they will be sold at price
within the reach of all. Employment
will be given to hundreds of reliable
agents, who can make better wages dur
ing the coming winter than at almost any
other business. Apply by letter or in
person to Samuel Naylor, Chatham House,
Independence, Iowa, for employment
Look out for the first appearance of this
household necessity.
