Patents
Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements III the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con.
veniences of mankind IN the factory ana
work shop, the household, on the farm, ana
in Official life, require continual access'ons
to the appurtenances 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 COM
eeiylng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot De

instances 10y the employment OF incompe-
tent counsel, and especially IS this advice
applicable to those who adopt the mo pat

their business to this class of attorneys do
so at imminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never considered in

No Blanks In this Competition.


This is competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for 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 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. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
peti:lve plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
,mcthng of very little use to him But the
crson who patents simple and useful de-
rice in the Press Claims Companp's Compc-
tltion, peed not worry if he fail TO secure the
prize. lie has a substantial result to show
for his work-One that will command its val.
dc in the markA at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in bis
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. Getrd of the rid Of the idea that an
improvement can be too SIMPLE to be worth
patcntlng The simblcr the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
ars.
The responsibility Of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred Of the leading ncWspa

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.

Comparatively Jew peopIe Ieeaiu 'neu,

mas been struck, at one time OF announcer,
with ideas that seemed calculated 10 reuucc
some ofthe little frictions OF lie. Usually
such ideas are dismissed wl'hout i"i'n'l
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make
its car Windows so that they could be slid up
and down without breaking the passengers

runninr the road I would make them IN sIch

"What was the man that made this sauce
nan thinking ot!.' grumbles the cook. He
never had to work oyer stoye, or he Woul,i
have known how it ought to have been liked.
"Hanr such collar button !" groWls the
man who is late for breakfast. "lf were IN
the BUSINESS I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip ou" or break OF, or gouge out 'he DacK
of my neck"
AND tren the various sufferers forget about
Their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else. Ifthey would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put Their IDEAS
about car windows, saucepans, ana collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
Tor patents, they might find themselves rs
independently wealthy as the man VINO IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce people to keep track of their
bright ideas and see what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved 10

will also advertise the In

This offer is subject to the following con-
ditions:
Every competitor must obtain patent for
his invention through the company. lie
must first apply for preliminary search,
the cost of which will bc five dollars. Should
this search show his invention to be unpat-
cntablc, he can withdraw without further eX'
prnsc. Otherwise he will be expected to
complete his application and take out pat
ent IN the regular way. The total expense,
including Government and Bureau fees will
be seventy dollars For this, whether he Sc
cures the prize O: not, the inventor will have
Il patent that ought to be II valuable property

consisting of three reputable patent attorn-
eys of Washington. Intending competitors
