original owners. The officials of the Ben

been abandoned. Work is still going on,

Patents
Notice to Inventors.

There was never a 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-
vericnces of mankind IN the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual access'ons
to the appurtenanccs and implements to each
in order to saye labor time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of
government to deter him from quickly con.
ceiy,ng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing n competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application tor patent Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in mnumcrable
instances by the employment Of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially Is this advice
applicable to those who adopt the "No pat
ent no pay" system. Inventors who entrus'
their business to this class of attorneys DO

strength of the patent is never considered in
view of quick cndeavorto get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS

labor and the successful one merely selling

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 advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. Til" prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing It, The architect whose com.
