THE DEMORALIZING EFFECT

dustry may therefore bring CONSERVATION ana
decentralization to those Interested
A good many years ago shirt manufacturing
was a conservative, respectable business, and
shirts were cut out entirely by hand. lnen
some one invented a cutting machine, whlch
at a single clip would cut out two dozen ShlrtS
at once 1t meant saving OF niteen huhqred
dollars a day in one large establishment where
the invention was employed. But TO those
who did not control the patent 1t meant con-
sternation. decentralization, and IN some cases
failure In time there was proper readJuSt-
rnent To the new conditions and shirt manu-
featuring is a booming industry OF the day
The clothing industry has likewise been
denoralized readiuSted. and made remarkably
successful through invention. Great manu-
featuring companies engaged IN making ready
made clothing use machinery and inventions
which cost hundreds of thousands OF dollars,
ROYALTIES of nearly two hundred thousand
dollars are paid annually TO the inventors OF
the machines used in cutting out the different
parts of ready made clothes. The demoraiiza-
ton caused by these inventions at first threat
ened to drive out of business all those engaged
in hand cutting: but time has demonstrated
that this fear was unfOunded. But the 1nven-
ton of cloth cutting machines has made II
possible TO manufacture clothing on such an
enormous scale in this country that 1t has
been predicted that within another decade we
shall be clothing half the world with our ready
made suits.
The invention of the pipe threading machine
carried CONSERVATION into many large manu-
featuring firms. and for a time it looked Is If

was a simple invention. but potent IN its m
huence The inventor drew royalties from II
that made him extremely rich.
New-York tribune., 1907-11-03
Enormous Addition to Wealth

1T has been roughly estimated that inven-
tion has added almost forty-hve thousand
millions of dollars to the wealth of our country
a sum which is greater than the national debts
of all countries. Millions OF dollars have been
paid out in ROYALTIES every year for these m
ventions and many more millions are annually
invested in new machinery 20 keep pace with
the development of inventions.
II Is a common saying among machlnlSts
that a machine becomes antiquated inside OF
five wears This does not refer TO the life OF
the machine but 10 the fact that new lnven-
tions improve it that II pays TO throw It
out of a shop and put in new type This Is
