Prizes on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and TO induce people to-
keep track of their bright ideas we offer
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most meritorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder, a weekly newspaper, pub
shed in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests Of in
yentOrs.
NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trkes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable AL
most everybody, at some time or another.
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. UnfOr-
tunatcy such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he sc.
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hav
