A Lost Trade Secret.

It has frequently happened that val
liable trade secrets have been lost be-
yond recovery. For instance, the best
watch oil, it appears, cannot be OBJ
tanned today because the secret proc
ess OF mixing it perished with the In
ventor. 1t Is said that the last quart
Of this famous fluid was sold for $500,
and that was thirty-five years ago.
Since then every effort has been made
to analyze the product in an attempt
to reproduce the oil, but without sue
cess. The man who made 1t and who
alone knew its composition died, and,
1t further appears, not even his name
or the place Of his burial Is known. He
never revealed to any one the details
Of his process, and 1t was not until
after his death that the real value Of
the oil was appreciated-Los Angeles
Times.
