Decorahian Applies for Patent.

T. F. Conner, of this city, has for
some time past been working on de-
vice and has applied for patent on
it-a letter opener. 1t consists OF a
small piece of steel, beveled and
sharpened, similar to a blade OF a
scissors. 1t fastens just underneath
the edge of the desk on the left hand
side. The working of the device is
simple. A business man getting a
large amount of mail, can open the
letters with rapidity and in way so
as not to destroy or spoil any OF the
contents of the envelope.
Another patent Mr.. Conner has ap-
piled for is business card holder.
When he gets his patent he expects
to manufacture the letter openers
here and put men on the road selling
them. Well here is hoping T. F. will
make a fortune on his patent.
