Humphries' Scaffold Bracket.

By the last Canadian mail we received an interesting communication from Mr. G. E. Humphries, the inventor of Humphries' Patent Scaffold bracket, which was fully illustrated and described in our issue of Ist November, 1905. Mr. Humphries reports that he conducted his first demonstration at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal, and the tests were so satisfactory that orders totalling 300 brackets per month for the province of Quebec were at once booked. Shortly after this, Mr. Humphries received an urgent order to supply 150 more per month, this time from New Brunswick, making a total of 450 secured within a few weeks of the inventor's arrival in the Dominion. Cable advice received by the Wellington Scaffold Bracket Company since the above communication was written, states that Mr. Humphries had received orders for upwards of 5,000 brackets. We wish Mr. Humphries the fullest measure of success in the exploitation of his excellent device.
