Tie inventor was poor Vermont
blacksmith. Silas Howcs, who lived in

One dull. rainy day peddler of tin

blacksmith fasten q shoe on his horse
Such petidlers Travelled up and down
the country, calling at every farmhouse
buying everything in the way Of bar.
ter This one had a number of worn.
out steel saws that he had picked up In
various Places Howes bargained for
them, shW.ing the ptsldler's horse and
receiving the saws in payment. and
each thought he had an excellent trade.
His idea was to polish and weld two
saws together at right angles and thus
make rule or measure superior to
anything then in use. After a few at
tempts lie succeeded in making a
square, marked it off into inches and
fractions Of inches and found that ii

he was able to erect a large factory and
put in machinery for the making of
