and not in public use or sale in the United
States for more that two years prior TO his
application, unless the same is proved to
have been abandoned. A patent NAV
also be obtained by any person who by
his own industry, genius. efforts and ex-
pense. has invented and produced any
new and original design for manufacture,
bust, statue, alto-relievo or bas relief. etc
Patents, or an interest In them, may be
assigned to any other person designated
bv the patentee, or upon the death OF the
patentee will issue to his executor or ad-

If any Indianian thinks he has a good
idea for an invention upon which he can
secure a patent he should not abandon
the idea merely because of small ex-
pense necessary to secure the patent. The
total expense in ordinary cases is only
Sos. and all of this is not required to be
paid at once. The first payment due
when the application is made is $40, the
next payment is $50, and the final pay
ment of SIS is not required until the
patent is ready to issue. There are many
mechanics and artisans of one kind and
another, who. being short of funds, have
procured the money necessary to take out
patent by interesting some OF their
! friends in the invention and disposing OF

Any one who has a good idea for an in
| vention should perfect the same, and write
| to TIE SENTINEL patent and pension agency
for information as to what steps are neces-
I sary to be taken in order TO secure a
patent. We will give this information
| cheerfully, only requiring that you enclose
a two-cent stamp for return postage. If
search of the patent Office files is neces-
sary, in order to ascertain whether or not
a patent has already been issued for the
same invention 70 some one else, we will
require fee OF s. for this service. If our
written opinion to you is favorable the
/ chances are that you will get patent: if
our answer is unfavorable you will be
spared all further expense IN the matter.
| The fee of s. is extra, and in no case APP
plies on the fee of S65. THE SENTINEL
agency is we'll equipped for quick and
efficient work. Our counsel have had uni
form success in procuring patents for in
ventors. There is everything in having
your specifications and other papers drawn
up by competent lawyers. Many cases
! pend for months and in some cases years,
only to be finally rejected.
The employment OF good patent attor-
news cannot be too strongly impressed up
on the inventor.
Washington City is full of incompetent
lawyers VINO prosecute patent and PEN
sion claims. There are also great many
first-clsss patent and pension attorneys.
The client residing at a distance is often
in doubt as to whom 10 employ. In many
! cases he onlv has newspaper advertise
ment to guide him He sees the name
and address of some attorney and opens
/ up q correspondence with him. He may
+ succeed In getting a good attorney and he
NAV not. Too frequently the latter is the
/ case. The inventor is unable 10 discrim-
mate between the good and the bad be-
+ cause he knows nothing OF the parties
/ whose advertisement he reads. But 1T is
! different in employing The SENTINEL
/ agency. The client is well aware that
| TIE SENTINEL is one of the Oldest and
/ most reliable newspapers published in the
! state of Indiana. He knows that the
! paper employs only the most competent
and trusted men and their cases will re-
/ ceive prompt and efficient attention at
reasonable rates. We charge the ordinary
/ fee for legal services In securing patents.
More than this every inventor securing
/ patent through our agency will receive,
! free of charge, full description of his in
! vention with an illustration of the same.
This will not only be printed in TIE
! DAILY SENTINEL, but in the weekly, which
reaches every town in the state of In
I diana. This free advertisement of the in
/ vention is alone worth more than the
/ total cost OF securing the patent 1t calls
/ attention Of the people OF the entire state
/ to the utility of the invention and greatly
! aids the inventor in finding q market for
the patent, if he wishes to sell it outright,
/ or it will aid him in finding a market for
his product in case he should himself
manufacture the patented article.
