THE BRUDE LIFE BOAT.

Lars Brude and his son, Captain
Ole Brude, returned on Thursday
from the east, where they successfully
negotiated deal that will bring
them a steady income from the Brude
life boat, which was invented some
years ago by the younger man. A
model of the craft was placed on ex-
hibition at the Klass jewelry store,
and it is the first sight Hibbing peo-
pie have had of the wonderful craft
that has made famous one of its
townsmen. Marine people have come
to recognize the Brude invention as
the only practicable life boat in exis-
tence, and it will not be long until all
OF the ocean-going craft is equipped
with the model. It will be recalled
that Captain Brude and three COM
panions crossed the Atlantic ocean in
1904 IN an eighteen footboat of the
captains construction. It was a
perllous undertaking, but Mr.. Brude
had faith in his invention and was
able to prove that it is all he claimed
for lt.Mesaba Ore.
