INVENTION A SUCCESS

GLASS PRESSING MACHINE

Thomas J. Conway, Muncie Man

Says Trade Will be Revolutionized.

Thomas J. Conway, a glass presser employed at Hemingray factory, and residing at 1007 Kirby Avenue, has been granted a patent on a glass pressing machine, which he claims will revolutionize the industry over the country. Mr. Conway has just come into receipt of the papers granting him the right of patent.

For two years Mr. Conway, assisted by Deputy State Factory Inspector Harve Richards, have been actively engaged in working on the invention, which according to the inventors, is a success and will prove so when it is offered to the market. The invention, which is the first of its kind, will revolutionize the industry in that it does away entirely with the boys and pressers to operate the machine. If the invention is a success a fortune lies in the path of the inventor. The only drawback to the invention having been completed by someone years ago was the arrangement of the machinery so as to operate the peculiarly shaped screws on the molds. Unless the screws are operated correctly they shatter the threads on the insulators and other glassware. Mr. Conway claims that he has overcome that obstacle. The three boys and presser to each machine are entirely done away with. Mr. Conway has received a number of flattering offers for his invention, but has not decided to accept any.
