PATENT No. 100000
Inventor Of Puneture-Proof Tire Wins
Much Coveted Honor

Washington, Aug. 6.-The millionth
patent issued by the United States
was announced yesterday by the com
missioner of patents, Mr.. Moore 1t
is for a puncture- proof tire for auto
mobile and other vehicles, depending
upon rubber springs for its resilien-
cy, and is the invention of an Akron,
O., man. So much interest had been
displayed by the public in the COM
pletion OF the number of 100000
that Commissioner Moore consented
to announce the patent ahead OF pub
LEGATION in the next issue of the Offic-
ial Gazette on August s.
Although the patent bears the
number 100000 1t is really 1,009,937
Until 1886 when the present bureau
was organized, patents were issued
without being numbered. Between
1890 and 1886 during which period
patents were under control of the
state department 1857 were issued.
A steady growth has been shown
in inventive genius in the United
States since the formation of the
present bureau. In 1886 only 109 pat
ents were issued, since when increas-
es have been shown each year. Dur
ing the calendar year 1909, $4,000
were issued, and in 1910 the number
reached 35,11S. 1t is believed this
year will show even greater in
crease. These figures do not include
reissues.
