INVENTOR OF NEW TOY
ARRANGES FOR SALE
E. 8. Bush, draftsman with the Suite
Highway Commission here, leaves to
night on No. 4 for the middle west
where he will arrange for the manu
facture and sale of a new plumb bob
ha haa Invented and for which he re
ceived a patent on Sept. I. Mr.
Bush has already had Interests In
other patents and recently put on the
market a patented toy, which he calls
the "do-Glggle."
The new plumb boh resembles the
ordinary plumb bob as far as exterior
Is concerned. The difference lies with
the inter'or, however. Instead of Its
being solid, the Interior' contains a
reel, operated automatically by a
spring, upon which the plumh string
Is wound when the bob Is not In use.
With the ordinary bob. the
must either be removed or
string
wound
around It, In the faahfon of a top. The
new arrangement permits of wind-
lng up the string within the bob while
till attached to the Instrument.
Aa Mr. Bush Is a civil engineer, he
haa had ample opportunity to test the
feasibility of his Invention and he ex-
reels to find a ready demand for It.
He will visit manufacturing concerns
In 8t. Louis. Chicago and possibly
other eastern cities regarding his in-
ventlon. '
The toy recently Invented by Mr.
Bush - Is now being manufactured on
a royalty contract by firms In Port-
land and 8t. Louis. It Is being seta
nationally already. Mr. Rush said. He
Is resigning his position here for the
time being.
