William Smelling, Is, president OF
Smelling Bros, who manufacture high
grade inks in their fathers cellar at
Allentown, Pa. arrived in Washington
today to sell his product.
At home, Robert, 10, and Richard,
o, were making more ink, while
Charles, 5, washed the bottles. Regi-
nald Wrighton, who has been q drum
mer for ink houses Is years, is out
West spreading the good news about
Snelling's iron-gallate ink, a brand
new development.
William finds business good in all
lines, except red ink, which is getting
less and less play, he says, as pros
perity creeps around its corner.
Earnings Are Banked.
Most Of the money made by the
firm, which is registered in Dun g.
Bradstreet, goes into the Allentown
National Bank, but when the COM
pany was young, four years ago, it
bought O share Of stock in the United
States Steel Corporation. Its market
price has risen from $31 to $71.
Out Of curiosity, William on Mon
day attended United States steel di-
rectors' meeting.
II Just listened" he said today, "for
the simple reason don't know much
about the business and it's best to
listen until you do know"
He would have gone to other meet

a vacation from the Allentown High
School. where he is a sophomore.
Launched in 1892.
The ink business was launched in
1882, after the three older brothers. to
the interest Of young Charles, had
experimental 10 months on making
fast the pretty blue color produced by
the reaction between copper sulphate
and ammonia.
William took their first bottle Of
ink to a store In Allentown which
sells everything from erasers to soap"
and convinced the manager he should
introduce it to his customers.
Before long the Forty-Fourth
Street Hotel In New York was buying
the ink and its spread across the
country was begun.
The Snellings used to make their
ink with an iron-gallatonate base.
But q few months ago they switched
to iron-gallate, which has many vir-
tues. according to the young emperor
Of the industry.
Iron -gallate," he disclosed, has
less sediment than the old iron-gal-
latonate, which Is q big help to
hookkeepers and others who keep the
ink-bottle open all the time.
Good For 1,OO0 Years"
"You can write invisible messages
with this ink" he went on land gradu-
ally it will come to light. My father
wrote note to my sister. That night
you couldn't see it. The next morn
ing 1t was faint A week later it was
visible. Now it is jet black. It's
good for 1000 years"
Some other ink facts disclose that
ink, like liquor. must be aged before it
Is usable, and that the best market
for brown ink is among women who
have brown stationery.
President William, who In Wash
ington sells his ink to The Star and
the Willard, Shoreham, Occidental
and Washington Hotels. Collects old
manuscripts as sideline.
He has one from the tenth century,
written with a carbon ink for black
letters and the blood of the cochineaI
bug for the red letters.
Bug Ink Fades.
'"The red is fading" he says. "The
bug blood is not so good as the red
ink made now oTt of dibromo fuoro-
scene"
A side-product Of this compound
Is mercurochrome, which the Smell
ings make for fun with a line Of
other chemicals.
William, who sells in New York.
Philadelphia and Washington; Bobby.
who sells in Reading, and Dickie, who
sells In Norristown, Pa, draw commits
sions from the firm income, but
Charles, the bottle-waSher, finds his
whole Joy in his work.
"He loves to wash" william said.
He spends half an hour washing his
hands for dinner. He even washed my
camera once"
William expects maybe the company
will last 100 years.
