A Perpetual Patent
Under our patent laws exclusive rights to
manufacture are granted only for a term of seven
teen years. After that period, any one has the
right to make and market the article.
The original patentee often finds the good will
that he has built up for his line jeopardized by a
flood of tawdry and unworthy imitations. The
public has no certain way of discriminating be
tween brands if it fails to recognize the original
satisfactory make.
But when the article is trade-marked and adver
tised before and after the expiration of the patent,
competition is not an overwhelming calamity. The
public continues to demand the "old reliable" by
brand name. The patents on Stilson wrenches,
aspirin and steering sleds have expired, but the
original makers still control the bulk of the busi
ness in those lines.
Articles not patentable can be similarly pro
tected. The trade-mark can be registered in the
public mind.
A monopoly of demand can be created through
advertising, where a monopoly of manufacture is
impossible.

Jt ill Save You Considerable
Expense Next Fall
"77HE Government has estimated that nearly one-
fifth of the total coal production is absolutely
wasted One of the greatest items of waste is
due to DIRTY ROILER FLUES, i e.. accumulation
of soot. Soot left in the boiler hecomes saturated
from the moiet air during the summer, releasing a
sulphur product which is injurious to the metal of
the heater due to its corrosive action. Soot is the
most effectie non-conductor of heat known to sci
ence. Soot in the heater flues means that you burn
too much coal, because 'the hent generated by tho
fuel is not properly absorbed by the heating surface
of the boiler. ..,eu
