Tobacco Compressor Are
Results of Home Genius
COOK ENTIRE DINNER

Will be Manufactured in This
City, Thereby Adding
to its Busy In
dustries

Two recent inventions by Richmond
men are attracting attention in the
business world and the genius dis
played by the residents of this city
will not only rebound glory and honor
to the inventors, but will add to the
reputation Richmond has for advanced
thought in commercial enterprises.
Both inventions have been patented
]. A Copperage, q stovemaker'
comes to the front with bureau
stove" so named on account OF "A
set OF four baking ovens arranged
one over the other. like the drawers
iii d bureau.
MIR. Copperage is enthusiastic over
his invention, the feature of which Is
the utilizing OF the heat to great ad-
vantage than has ever before been ac-
coinplished in q cook stove. The base
of the stove is very similar TO the
usual run of stoves, but by system
of 1ues Mr.. Copperage has contfafen
to carry the heat from the fire pot
through various circutious routes, into
1--WE different baking compartments.
BY the arrangement of these hues,
the inventor makes 1T possible Tor
an entire dinner to be cooked at one
time this saving great deal OF fuel
and consid ra BILE time.
The heat is apparently caught in
the TOP of the base of the stove and
by the arrangement OF the fues Is car
ried down one side. under the bottom
and Up the opposite side of the large
loven in the lower part OF the stove.
The heat continues on it's upward
course. through "A spiral arrangement
OF the fues that run between set
OF four ovens arranged one over the
other. like bureau drawers.
The top oven is as hot as the rest.
and fowl can be cooked therein,
while bread is in the next one. pies In
the next. cake in the next and the big
oven at the bottom can he used for
roast meats. There are six caps to
the top Of the stove on which yege-
tables can s-ho!led--
MIR. Copperage has his stove on ex-
hihitton at $50 East Main street and
II has attracted great deal of at
iention. II is conceded to be one OF
the handsorn est cooking stoves ever
seen in Richmond. Several OF the
restaurants HAYS experimental Min
the stove, cooking at the same time
various articles In adjoining compart-
ments.
Tobacco Compressor.
Prominent tobacco manufacturers
( believe that the invention or Charles
r. Malone. will revolut!onixe the
methods of manufacturing plug to-
bacco, Mr.. Malone has Invented a
machine ,1aF. pricing ,og o&usPresasng
plug chewing and cut plug smoking
| tobacco. and doing IL at less than half
the cost accompanying the methods
In vogue for fifty years past. The
machine Ia compressor that simply
does all OF the pricing necessary for q
| plug OF tobacco by one operation
| instead OF by three or four. Ii is
claimed that by the use of the ma
chine the manufacturer reduces the
consumption OF coal, does, away with
all shapes, hydraulics, pots. pumps
and the piping for same. 1t VIII also
reduce the cost OF labor In the press
room about so per cent.
The first set of these machines have
but recently been completed at the
| Richmond Iron Works, and yesterday
| and day before they were on exhtht-
! ton in one of the rooms at the works
on the Boulevard. A number of manu-
! facturers and others Interested went
out to see the thing done, and all of
/ the experts pronounced the compress
sor success and its work perfect.
| The stoves and compressors WIZ
be manufactured in Richmond by
skilled mechanics who live here and
will add to the Important manufac-
turing department OF the city.
