Modern Inventors Vanity.
From Pages Magazine.

From Pages Magazine.
People who finance inventors seldom real
ize until too late that most of them should
be rigidly excluded from the factory. The
inventor generally makes his own success
impossible by his want Of business knowl-
edge, and his vanity, which prevents his
adopting improvements suggested by his
assistants. The result is that invention
seldom makes much progress until the pat
