ventors About three years ngo ho said I got up a little device that greatly simplified of a certain type of pump I took out patents that cost me in the neighbor hood of Including attorneys fees and finally submitted the thing to a big manufacturing concern In the The proprietors at once con ceded the merit of the Invention anil offered me down and a royalty of on each one used The cash pay ment amounted to nothing for it roally fell short of covering my time and ex penses but the royalty was generous and I figured it out that It would yield me an Income of or for several longer it de pended on liow soon something bettor entered the field Accordingly I accepted the tion and transferred all my right Now bow much do you think I actually re Not a penny No I havent been cheated at least all the accounts have been perfectly straight The trouble Is they never put the device ou the market They simply stuck the patents and drawings In a and there they remain to this day Why did they do It did you ask To save money The public Is very well suited with their pump as and It is doubtful If they could get any more for It with niy Improvement add ed Such a step would merely cut down the net profit so they prefer to let well enough alone It was necessary of course to got my invention safely shelved or It might have been taken up by some enterprising rival and the only earthly reason for spending oh the thing was to put it out of the way It was rather rough on me to be sure but the experience was valu able and I wont get caught that way again Orleans crat GLASSES FOR THE EYES A Few
