The Clay company and Philip Mac

taken out by bankrupt concern. Ow-

could not be patented. Clay and Mac
Intyre had each put product upon
the market, and it was a fight to the
death between them.
John Clay knew that his invention
was superior to his rivals. But they
had money, and he was at his wits
ends for it. If he could hold out he
would win. But his creditors were
pushing him hard.
At the worst he would have to sell
out to MacIntyre, accept the few thou.
