Patents
Notice to Invet0rs.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now: The con-
veniences of mankind in the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual access'ons
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order to save labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who being ON the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs ol
government to deter him from quickly con.
eeiy,ng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in lnnumerable
instances by the employment of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially IS this advice
applicable to those who adopt the mo pat
ent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys do
so at imminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never considered in
view of quick endeavor to get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn,
General Manager, 61S F street, N. W., Wash
ington, D. G., representing large number
of important daily and weekly papers, as
well as general periodicals of the. country,
was instituted to protect its patrons from
the unsafe methods heretofore employed in
this line of business The said Company is
prepared to take charge ofall patent business
entrusted to 1t for reasonable fees, and pre-
pares and prosecutes applications generally,
including mechanical Inventions design pat
ents, trade marks, labels, copyrights, inter.
ferences, infringements, validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected cases.
1t is also prepared to enter into competition
with any firm in securing foreign patents.

No Blanks in this Competition

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t is common to offer prizes tor the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan.
all the competitors risklng the loss Of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Companys offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself and the one who
| helps himself to the best advantage is to he
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose CONF
pettive plan for a 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 de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tltion, need not worry if he fail to secure The
prize He has substantial result to show
for his work one that will command its val
Tie 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 rid of the idea that an
Improvement can be too SIMPLE to be worth
patenting TIE simber the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Cumpanys twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The 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.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALU ABLE.

| Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
| some of the little friclions OF HE. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Whv don't the railroad company make
its car windows so that they could be slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
Backs" exclaims the traveller. IF l were
running the road | would make them IN such
a way"
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking off, grumhes the cook. "Hc
! never had TO work oyer stOye, or he would
| have known how it ougltto have been liked.
Hang such collar button |" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "lfl were in
the business Ia make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break Oft, or gouge out the back
of my ncck.'
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else. ifthcy would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their IDEAS
about car windows, sarccpans, ana collar
buttons into practical shape, ana then Apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.

PRIZES ON PATIENTS.
How to Get twenty-five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has Il Clear Gilt Ola
Small Fortune, and the Losers
Have Patents that may
Bring them in still
More.

Would you like to make twenty-five hum
bred dollars? Ifyou would, read carefully
what follows and you may sec way to do 1t.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. 1T has handled thous-
ands of applications for Inventions, but It
would like to handle thousands more. There
is plenty of inventive talent in this country,
needing nothing but e GU rag M emit
to produce practical results. That encour-
agcment the Press Claims Company pro-
poses to give.
NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an appall-
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
Inventor must be a natural genius, like Edl-
son or Bell that he must put years to delVlng
in complicated mechanical problems ana
that he must spend u fortune on delicate ex'
permen's before he can get new device TO
a patentable degree OF perfection. This de-
lus,on the company desires to dlspel 1t de-
sires to get into the head of the public clear
comprehension of the fact that it is not the
great complex, and expensive inventions
that bring the best returns to their authors
but the little, simple, and cheap ones-the
things that seem SO absurdly trivial that the
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed OF
bringing them to the attention of the Patent
Office
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous snven-
tions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments But the man who con-
ccved the idea of fastening q bit of rubber
cord to cbild's ball, so that it would come
back to his hand when thrown made for
tune out of his scheme. The modern sew
ing machine is miracle OF ingenusty-the
product of the toll of hundreds OF busy brains
through hundred and fifty years, but the
whole brilliant result rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle at the
pOint instead of the other end.

BIDS FOR BONDS.
Two Syndicates Want the entire Is
sue Of $50,000,000.

WASHINGTON, Nov lathe bid.
for the $4,000 bond issue recent,
offered by Secretary Carlisle werC
opened at the treasury department
today shortly before o'clock. A
4o'clock it was stated at the Depart
ment that a hurried calculation
showed that the total number o
separate bids was 297, aggregatinl
$l54,37O, 900. The largest bid wa'
the syndicate bid of the United
States Trust company, Drexel, Nor
gan & Co., and others at HIT TO
the whole amount or none, Thi}
bid was the best offered as the ag
gregate of bids above this figure
was only about $40, 1874, ,O5O, leaving
about $50, ,675, $50 at a less figure
1t therefore seems quite probable
that the syndicate bid will be ac
cepted, although Secretary Carlisle
stated he could not express an op
inion as to the result until Monday
when the awards will be made, Ac
cording to the terms OF this bid tn,
government will pay $2S78 per cen
interest on the $4,000, 1000 a
against 3 per cent carried by Tho
February issue. There is posi-
bility howevey, that a close calcu
lation will disclose the fact thai
there is a sufficient number of bid
att better rate than this, which
with the second syndicate bid a
ll6,SS0S or $500 per cent ma.
make Il combination slightly NOR,
advantageous TO the government
than the other, although this is yer.
improbable, Altogether the result
of the bids is eminently satisfactor!
to the treasury officials as it show
that not only was there a brisk ri
valry for the bonds but the rate o
interest demanded was even lowe,
than was generally expected, A
no time during the pendency of the
issue has Secretary Carlisle doubted
that it would all be eagerly takeI
