Frank Blackmarr, of this city
and one of the officers of the Bay
Iron Works, is apparently an in
ventor of no mean ability. Recent
iy Mr.. Blackmarr invented a stump
puller and hosting machine of a
highly improved type and is now
awaiting the granting of his patent
before putting in machinery at the
Iron Works for manufacturing
them, which he expects will be some
me during the winter.
At present Mr.. Blackmarr has on
XII bition ia the medical offices of
5. l.. Pickett an air purifying
machine which he invented and
patented in 1908. The little machine
runs with electricity and is practical
ly noiseless in it's operation, yet it
does wonderful work. purifying the
air wherever placed. Tt is used
extensively by the Washburn-C Crosby
Milling Co., in their flour mills at
Minneapolis for the purpose of
purifying the air in the wheat rooms.
Many Minneapolis physicians. among
them DIR. Austin. the Well known
specialist, uses the machine for
treatment in cases of tuberculosis,
asthma. catarrh, etc.
The machine was manufactured
for Mr.. Blackmarr by a Minneapolis
concern, but he is contemplating
seriously of adding the manufacture
of the air purifyer to the other out
put of the Bay Iron Works. His
many friends trust local conditions
will prove satisfactory for such
move and congratulate him on his
enterprise.
