NO BLANkS IN THIS COMPETION

This is a competitor of rather an unusual ma
ture. It is common to offer prizes for the best
STORY, or picture, or architcctral plan, all tho
competitors risking the loss of their labors
and the successful one merely selling his for
the amount Of the prize. But the Press Claims
company offer is something entirely different.
Eacl person is asked merely to help himself
and the one who helps himself to the best adj
vanths" Is to be rewarded for doing it. The
architect whose competitive plan for club
house on certain corner is not excepted 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
company's competition need not worry il he
fail to secure the prize He has u substantial
result 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 know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who studies
it only from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid OF the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simpler the
better. The person who best succeeds in COM
bining simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims companys twenty-five hundred
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that it's stock is held BY
abont three hundred of the leading newspapers
of the United States.
