HAMILTON INVENTION.

latest in grease guns.

WORLD’S RIGHTS SOUGHT

An invention which it claimed will revolutionise the greasing and oiling systems on motor-cars and machinery has just been perfected by a Hamilton resident (states the Waikato Times). As many prominent catdealers have put it, it has been a Ibngfelt want.

By means of an attachable cartridge or container, which will be bought intact, there will be no mess in handling by the operator. The pump is far superior to any other artfcle put on the market, and the pressure is much in excess of that of other pumps.

The patent has been secured in America, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, and application has been made for seals in Italy, France, and other countries. The Gei man seal has been practically assured.

To secure these seals it has cost the* inventor approximately £250. To obtain the seals for the patent has been no easy task, and the value of the patent can.be estimated from the fact that strong objections were made in America, Canada, and Great Britain. No fewer than six objections were raised in America, four in Canada, and four in Great Britain. To overcome these objections the American and other patent agents met in conference and the seals were duly granted. AN OFFER OF £lO,OOO. Before the seals were received an offer of £lO,OOO was made to the inventor, as well as many other tempting offers, but, as the lucky inventor put it, he decided to “go to Sydney or t|he Bush.’’ A reputable Wellington firm, on seeing the pump, promptly offered to place an order for 500 if it was decided to manufacture in New Zealand. America, "the land of promise,” beckons, and the pump will be taken there, where the world’s rights will be sought in New York. Failing to make a successful deal there, Great Britain will be approached.

AMERICA THE BEST MARKET. America is undoubtedly the best market, there being approximately 20,510,276 American cars in the world out of the total approximate number of 211,589,249.

America is a trap for the unwary and inexperienced, and the inventor has arranged to take with him Mr E. Best, formerly of Edward Best and Co., of Sydney, who is well versed in motor accessories, knowing the- business thoroughly.

The lucky inventor, Mr Henry E. M. Drummond, is only 23 years of age, and is well known to Hamiltonians, having lived in the district for over twelve years. When he sets out for America in about a month’s time, the good wishes of all will accompany him in his venture.
