l. j. Basken, our blacksmith, has
patented pipe wrench that is receiving
lots of attention throughout the country
just now. He is receiving upward of a
dozen letters daily from parties wanting
territory to handle it in and others
want to manufacture it on commission.
I The wrench is simple in construction
and very positive in it's grip. Mr.. Bas-
ken has invented another combination

patent office which will undoubtedly
prove more useful article than the
first one as it combines several features
of usefulness, if some of the parts are
not already covered by other patents.
