Unknown New Zealand Inventor’s Success
Somewhere about New Zealand is a successful inventor who does not know it.
For some months the chief medical adviser to the Plunket Society, Dr Helen Deem, has been extolling a clamp into which an electric jug may be fitted so it will not topple off the table when a toddler pulls the flex.
Mothers, anxious to avoid rhis too-common home accident, have found dealers have low supplies of the device. In fact, before it benefited from Dr Deem’s commendation it had proved hard to quit. This lack of demand must have discouraged, the inventor and patentee. Because now the demand is there he is not.
Moreover, the distributors have lost his' name and address. But till he turns up, to make arrangements among other things, for his royalties, there can be no more clamps made.
