Comnaratiyely few people regard them
selyes "a inventors, but almost everybody
mas been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some ofthe little frictions Of life Usually
snch ideas are dismissed without further
thought.

its car windows so that they could be slid up
and down without breaking the passengers

man who is late for breakfast. "lf were IN
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break of, or gouge out the pacR

And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity put their IDEAS
about car windows, saucepans, ana collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron uInUTcld rug, VI tAO ohS
