Everlasting match claimed by Austrian chemist
Dr Ferdinand Ringer, an Austrian chemist, says he invented an everlasting match after three years of research. The two sizes burn 600 and 2000 times respectively and extinguish on contact with any substance. He cites safety, smoke free operation, and potential savings for London smokers and households. Herr Ivar Kreuger is reported to have offered £1,000,000 for the secret.
