ELECTRIC DEVICE
WITHOUT MOTOR.
Arthur HoiIins, Ingenious inventor Of
keokuk Theatre, Apple. for
Patent on New Advertising
Sign.
REvoLvEs FROM HEAT
Principle Of Invention is Simple YET
"Find' to Science and viii
Prove Of Great
Value.

Everyone is particularly glad to
welcome inventive genius when thew
see it. Arthur Hollins, the young
and thorough electrician whom Man
ager A. G. Hull of the Airdome
theatre secured from Chicago to ope-
rate his film machines, has developed
more than ordinary talent in his line
and when preached on the subject Of
his most recent electrical fixtures Of
facilitating nature recently explained
to the impractical mind the new de-
vice, an electric sign that may be
used for both indoor and outdoor
window or hanging sign to display adj
yertising.
MI. Hollins' invention provides for
the use ofsas many colors as one may
desire in the sign and the important
feature of the device Is the absence
of any motive power to keep the col
ors within the sign case in motion.
The heat of single electric lamp is
sufficient to keep the colors attached
to cylindrical bearing, in motion at
all times. This applies to the inven-
ton when used for inside vari-colored
window advertising.
lns1ead of heat causing the colors
to revolve on their axis when sign
is used in the open or outside of a
building or place of business, the air
is used in lieu and Is received in half
conical cups of metal or wood The
principle of the inside of the
signs movements is the same, how
ever.
Mr.. Hollins made formal applica-
ton to the patent office at Washing
ton, d. c., two weeks ago and is
daily expecting permission from the
government giving him exclusive
manufacturing rights of his device.
The young electrical inventor has
succeeded in arranging and perfecting
many of the electrical effects used in
the local theatre and his ingenuity is
vastly deserving of reward. Mr.
Hollins was formerly with the Com
monwealth Edison Electrical Co., of
Chicago for four years, and later for
two years was chief electrician of the
GAINESVILLE Sugar Beet factory. He
is member of the Electrical Work
ers and Operators Alliance.
Mr.. Hollins spent two long years
meeting failures and part successes
with his latest electric sign but short
time ago completed the arrangement
which will prove new to users of
such service.
| A wide field for electrical workers
will be opened with the completion of
the big power dam and merchants and
others will come in time to see the
value Of such inventions as that per-
fected by Mr.. Hollins.
