This company controls all the patents

granted or patents applied for. A brief
statement respecting some Of the more
important inventions is herewith pre-
sented:
HOPPE DRY BATTERIES-Mad
IN all sizes, from the vest pocket flash
| light to the largest size required, I'M
cluding special designs for earphones
for the deaf and automobile ignition.
All material for the manufacture of
these batteries is obtainable in Utah
| with the exception Of sheet zinc and
| dioxide OF manganese. Can be made
here as cheaPly as any battery on the
| market, and insure substantial profit
! There 3 a constant demand for not less
than 10000 dry cell batteries per month
in these intermountain states alone. All
local electrical supply companies have
pledged their support of the Hoppe
Dry Battery aB soon as it can be placed
on the market in sufficient quantities
| On all practical tests made by electri-
cal engineers, this battery has exceeded
all others for life and efficiency; on
short circuit it showed its superiority
I.by retaining more of its original power
than any other battery known. Tests
on automobiles permit no comparison
of the ordinary dry cell with the very
efficient Hoppe Dry Battery.
HOPPE LOUD SPEAKING TELE.
PRONE.-This is a device that could
be applied to any telephone system, but
its present chief utility is as com
mercial ntercommunicating system for
use in business houses and business Of
fees. With this device there Is no need
for any employees leaving their work
to answer questions from superintend-
Dictation to stenographers or to dicta-
phones can be accurately given at a
distance; no need for either stenocra-
pliers or dictaphones to be in the same
room with the dictator. It's a big time
saver and an unerring messenger. So
simple in construction, it can be in
stalled commercially for q reasonable
price and still net the manufacturers a
big profit
