PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty live Hun-
dred Dollars for Nothing.
fhe Winner his a Clear Gift of a Small
For rune and the Losers Have Paten’s
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hun-
dred dollars? If you would read carefully
what follows and you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thous-
ands of applications for inventions but it
would like to handle a thousand more. There
is plenty cf inventive talent at large in this
country needing nothing but encouragement
to produce practical results. That encourage-
ment the Press Claims Company proposes to
give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius like Edi-
son or Ue 1; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get anew device to
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. It desires
to get into the head of the public a clear com-
prehension of the fact that it is not the great
complex and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors out the lit-
tle simple and cheap ones—the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvelous inven-
tions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to a child’s ball so that it would come
back to the hand when thrownmade a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ingenuity—theproduct of
the toil of hundreds of busy brains Ihrougt a
hundred and fltty years but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in-
stead of at the other end.
Thi Little Things ihe Most Valuable.
Ct mparatively few people regard them-
selves as inventors but almost everybody
lias been struck at one time;or another
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of theilittle frictions of life. Usually
such) ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
“Why don’t the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without b.eaking the passengers
backs?"exclaims the 1 traveler. “If 1 were
running the road I would make them in such
a way ”
“What was Ihe man that made this sauce-
pan thinkingot?” grumbles the cook. "He
never had to workover* stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed.”
“Hang such a collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. “If 1 were in
tlie business I'd make buttons that would'nt
slip out or break oil or gouge out the back
of tny neck."
And then the various sutfere-s forgot about
their grievarcts and begin to think of some-
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity put their ideas
about car windows saucepans and collar
buttons into practical shape and then apply
for patents they might find themselves asm-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent-
ed the iron umbrella ring or tlie one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce people to keep track of their
bright Ideas and see what there is In them
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
otter a pr’ce.
To the person who submits to it the sim-
pliest and most promising invention from
a commercial point ol view the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash in
addition to refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
It will also advertise the invention free of
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con-
ditions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent far
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search
the cost of which will be five dollars.
Should this search show his invention to be
unpatentable he can withdraw without fur-
ther expense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his appplication and takeouts
patent in the regular way. The total expense
including Government and Bureau fees will
be seventy dollars. For this whether he
secures the prize or not the inventor will
have a patent that ought to be a valuable
property to him. The prize will be awarded
by ajury eonslstlngof three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending com-
petitors should fill out the following blank
and forward it with their spplicat'ons:
IMB.
“1 submit the within described invention
In competition for the Twenty-five Hundred
Dollar Prize offered by the Press Claims
Company.
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.
This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. It is common to offer prizes for the
best storyor picture or architectural plan
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. Bnt the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself and the one who
helps himself to the beet advantage is to be
rewarded fordoinz it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without It. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on a
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something or very little use to
him. But the person who patent a simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
competition need not worry If he fail to se-
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work—one that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to im-
prove it than the mechanical expert wno
studies It only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve-
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popu-
larity will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from tne fact that its stock Is held by
about three hundred of the leading news-
papers of the United States.
