Ia al interview today. the inventor,
Dr. n Ekcnberg. said that. as Ameri-
can letters patent had rot vet betn IS
sued. he could not now explain the
method Of manufacture. He also said
that he had rot sold his rights for she
United states, and that Americans de-
string to negotiate for same should adj
dress him direct. The doctor hopes that
he VIII soon be ready to show a large
model Of his Invention In operation u
a Swedish creamery, and under certain
conditions is willing 10 exhibit similar
apparatus in America
There viii be two patents issued
one for the method itself and one for the
apparatus Dr. Ekenberg explained that
chiefly skinned milk would be utilized,

Sweden, I quote the following article

less useful for many purposes. During
