75-Year-Old Inventor
Received Offer of $1,000
For First Patent
MANY INVENTIONS
Came To Sank
Centre At Age
Of Is Years

A 75-year-old inventor who
brought increased comfort and
better living conditions to millions
of people will be honored this week
by leaders of the worldwide in
dustry which he founded.
He is George H. Ellis, of Min
neapolis, inventor Of insulation
board and known as the father
of insulation" His idea, conceived
more than 35 years ago, for utiliz-
ing waste products of flax used in
making binder Irvine, has resulted
in a worldwide industry. He in
vented and perfected the wood
fiber insulation board which now
protects thousands of homes and
other buildings against heat and
cold and which Is used in sound
proofing, refrigeration and hun
dreds Of other lines.
A testimonial dinner will be
given bv r. H. M. Robinson, presl-
dent Of Minnesota and Ontario
Paper Company, Friday, October
II, at the Minneapolis club. Toast
master will be Joe Sanders, market
ing editor of the American Builder
magazine.
Mr.. Ellis began his career as an
inventor at the age of Is at Sank
Centre, Mimi, when he invented a
straw binder apparatus for making
Irvine out of straw. This invention
led to a number of others, among
which was construction of the first
insulation board from the by-pro-
ducts of straw used in making
binder Irvine.
Born Jan. IL, 1865, he left home
at the age Of II to become chore
boy in a hotel at Crookston, MINI.
Entering the farm machinery busi-
ness two years later he was en-
ployed in a Sank Centre machine
shop when he made his first in
yention for which he received a
81, 900 option from the American
Fiber Company. Taking his inven-
ton to New York he quickly DEM
onstrated it's efficiency, later sell
ing the patent for $4,000 to the
Deering farm machinery company
in Chicago.
He likewise accepted a position
in the firms research department
remaining there for 20 years. 1t
was during this time that he made
such contributions as gas en-
CINE, gas engine tractor, corn bin
der and picker, spinning jenny for
making Irvine and several types Of
Diesel egines.
Continuing along lines of his
first invention, Mr.. Ellis also pro-
duced Irvine out Of other grass ma
terials. It was from these expert
ments that the first insulation
board was made from products Of
flax straw fibers which were too
short for making Irvine.
Mr.. Ellis, who made the first
insulation board in 1906, has been
associated with Insulite since 1924
as consultant engineer. He also
is known for his inventions in the
field Of agricultural machinery and
processing. He has patented more
than $50 inventions.
Result of his invention Of insula-
ton board has been an industry
that during the past Is years has

him.
The aged man was lying outside

fell down while in the pasture, was
trampled by the cattle, but able to
reach the outside Of the fence, or
he had been attacked by one Of the
cattle. There is nobody who saw
what happened.
The funeral was held at the st.
Boniface church at Melrose at
1880 o'clock Saturday morning.
The deceased was q member Of the
st. Joseph Society. Grandsons act
ed as pallbearers. All children
were present at the service.

March 3, 1854. He married Eliza
beth Thieschafer there. They and
the older children came to this
country in 1891 and located on a
farm two and a half miles north
Of Melrose. Mrs. Hallermann died

mann made a visit to his home
land in Germany.

Tuesday.
Complications involved, due to
the general state Of Reorganization
of all manufacturers producing
trucks and cars, called for hasty
action on the part of the firm in
order to meet the government
deadline on delivery. Delivery was
made on Is International trucks.
Trucks were driven to the pro-
ject from all parts Of the United
States, it was announced. Service
was virtually given in the field un-
der emergency conditions. Sleep
and meals were ignored in order
to keep the wheels Of Uncle Sans
defense turning without delay.
IT knew we were going to be
up against a tough proposition In
handling this big movement order
for International trucks" Mr..
Itchy said. However, I am very
proud Of the way in which every
member Of our organization did
his part in handling this govern
ment business"
Representing virtually the first

has taken under the national de-
Tense program, considerable prom
inence results from the fact that
the local firm was in competition
with larger northwestern and ma
tional concerns.

Here are few lines I've written
of the Coast Guard Service here in
New York:
Being in the Coast Guard Ser
vice six months, five being on the
harbor cutter Arundel, every day
has been interesting, and a great
experience. From the day I came
aboard, the Arundel was standing
by as duty vessel at the Norman
die. After q month we took up
regular harbor duties. The head
quarters Of the harbor cutters is
at the Barge office on the south
ern point Of Manhattan, N. Y,
from where we have full view of
the tall buildings Of Wall Street or
Greater New York.
"Out in the bay Is the Statue
Of Liberty, which we pass by every
day. Today we have the Hudson
River duty. We go up the river
as far as the George Washington
Bridge. This trip is very much a
sightseeing trip for me, as we
travel the fulllength Of Manhattan
on one side and the shores of New
Jersey on the other. Some days we
have the East River duties, which
take us on the other side Of Man.

Y. At other times we go out in
the bay past Staten Island. Only
once so far have we been to what
they call the ocean. It was all
water as far as I could see. Har-
Dor duties cover a lot of territory,
and great many things.

men, and one commanding officer.
It Is powered by two $40 Diesel
engines. This winter we will go
up the Hudson breaking ice. The
boys say 1t is a very interesting
duty. The Coast Guard has a mot
to, "Semper Paratus" meaning al
ways ready" These words mean
a great deal to every man in the
service.
