No Blanks HIM This Competition

No Blanks Am This Conn petition.
This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture. or architectural plan,
all the competitors riskiug 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 different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doingzit. The
prize is only q stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to knew better how to im-
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty five hundred dollars.
Tie responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.
Address the Press Claims Company, John
Wedderburn, managing attorney, 6lS + street,
