NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to otler
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best adj
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be we'll worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan fora club house
on certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
The Press Claims Company's competi-
tom need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. lie has a substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
mcnt can be too simple 10 be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity aud popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be Judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.
