Z. B. Sellard's Inventions.

The Message last week men
toned the automobile pillow in
vented by L. B. Sellard of this
city. We have seen his drawings
and patent papers for the pillow
and believe he has an invention
that will make him wealthy. \
Monroe county, Mo. man is
making an autO-plOw in Chicago
and selling them as fast as he can
get them out, but Mr.. Sellard
thinks his pillow has an advantage
over any auto pillow made in that
he can turn square corner, OF
more than square corner, with
it. The plow will cut 81 inches
and will sell for about 1920.
Mr., Sellard has also invented
a pleasure automobile-one of the
most remarkable things in its
line we have ever seen or heard
of. II has four wheels, bicycle
wheels, and is built the very OPP
posite of other machines as /,
weight, it is almost as light as
go-cart and will carry two per
sons. The frame is made of ga,
pipe and thru this the water vii
be forced to cool the engine.
Mr.. Sellard will have hi
machine on the streets during tn,
Fair and then you will get to Sc,
something of the little wonder
He thinks it can be made to sci
for about 1925. That's a gooC
deal cheaper than a horse an,
buggy and feed, all right.
