RECEIVE LETTERS PATENT
 ON WONDERFUL NUT LOCK

Little Rock, Aug. BOA remarkable instance of the virtue of persistence has just come to light in Little Rock. Last Saturday, Chas N. Fauble, the Pulaski Heights contractor, received his letters patent on a nut-lock that promises to yield him a fortune. He has been working on the device for twenty-seven years, and began his efforts to secure his patent in 1895, twenty-one years ago.
 Since that time he has had all sorts of difficulties to overcome. An Eng fish inventor claimed that the Fauble device was an infringement upon one of his, but this Mir. Fauble denied. The case was fought through the Pat ents Office and in the courts, and the Arkansas man finally won and the patent was issued to him.
 The device locks nut on any bolt to a thirty of an inch, so that 1t cannot shake or work off. A nut can be put on any bolt with the fingers that will require wrench to remove it. Already Mir. Fauble is receiving offers from manufacturers all over the country for rights to make the nut-lock, but MT. Fauble is not anx- ious to dispose of it to the first com CTS. It has unlimited possibilities in the mechanical world.
