Patents
Notice to Inventors.

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, ana
in Official life, require continual accesslons
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 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 competent and Skill

No Blanks in this Competition.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors rsklng 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 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 a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
)methng of very little use to him Blu, the
erson who patents a simple and useful de.
yice 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
ne 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 simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's 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.
