WILL BRING HIM
A BIG FORTUNE
Great Success of An Invention of n
Man Well Known in Grand
Junction.-A Novel Device
for Measuring.

Simon Hymes. the Glenwood mer-
chant and father-in-law of NJ. II.
Loeffler. the clothing man of this
city, is widely known here, having
visited Grand Junction frequently in
the many years past.
The following story of a success
full invention he has perfected will
from the Glenwood Avalanche:
Simon Hymes, merchant tailor
of this city, after working many
years On a device which would give
slope and centuries of the figure
when being measured for n suit of
clothes, has finally arrived at q sue
cessful period, ard he is receiving
number of orders for his simple de
vice. His profits on the machine
will amount to many thousands of
dollars during the year.
Mems Wear. a magazine devoted
to clothing, has the following to say
on this interesting invention:
Measuring Device.-One of the
greatest difficulties in ordering made
to measure clothing by mail lies in
the fact that it is impossible to de-
scribe exactly the slope or stoop of
the shoulders of the man who Is be-
ing measured. Certain tailors to
the trade send out, with their meas
urement blanks series OF cuts OF
men with various sloping or stoop-
ing shoulders and ask the merchant
taking the order to mark the picture
which nearest conforms to the shape
of the shoulders of the man they
are measuring. But, of course. this
way is far from being exact.
"a clever little device, which has
been brought out to overcome this
difficulty, is illustrated herewith. 1t
was invented by S. Hymes of Glen
wood Springs, Colo, and is being
placed on the market by the inven-
tor and NJ. II. Loeffler. clothler
and furnisher of Grand Junction,
Colo The dtvice is called 'Hymes'
Level Measures and consists, as win
be seen in the center sketch, OF a
wooden frame work, a measuring
rule and a water level,
Figure 1 shows the position of
the measure in securing the amount
of slope of the shoulder. The figure
on the rule where 1t passes through
the level piece shows the exact
amount of the slope.
Figure . shows how the amount
of the stoop In any shoulder is
found. The figure on the hinged
measuring rule as 1t passes through
the vertical part of the frame, which
of course, is at right angles to the
water level gives this measurement.
A gauge at the back of the measure
shows exactly where the instrument
should be placed in taking the first
measurement. This point Is gov
erned by the size of the collar worn
by the man who is being measured"

The report circulated through
some portions of the valley to the
effect that there are scores of cases
of scarlet fever In Grand Junction
may have their effect on the attend
ance at the county fair next week,
but everything possible to do away
with the alarming impression made
by these absolutely false reports is
being done here. The Plateau Val
ley Voice last week made the un-
qualified statement that there were
200 cases of fever here. That pa
per should have Investigated before
making such an assertion and it is
now up to the Voice to correct the
statement and do its part toward
breaking down these false reports
and rumors.
