[Rochester Sentinel, Monday, August 28, 1916] PASTIME, THE [Lake Manitou] See Lake Manitou Boats PATENTS AND INVENTIONS [Fulton County] Patent Churn. Mr. Jas Maxey, of this county has made a very important improvement in churns, and has obtained letters patent for the same. His invention is simple and easy to operate, and if the crea is in good order for churning, butter can be brought in from two to ten minutes. It is easily cleaned, as the butter gathers on slats attached to the body of the churn. The machinery is simple, and readily understood by any one. This church will be sold for $8, and on a farm or in a dairy will save its cost in a short time. The post office address of the inventor is Kewanna,Fulton County, Ind. Agents wanted to sell territory. [Rochester Union-Spy, Thursday, July 23 1868] THE PATENT EVENER Mr. C. T. Miner has returned from Ft. Wayne where he was called to make a test of his patent three-horse draft equalizer and which he sold to the Fleming Manufacturing Company of the “Boss” Road Grader and Leveler, the right to make and use the Evener on their Grader, etc. This equalizer of draft is the most perfect of any on the market and must come into general use. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, May 9, 1885] WARREN B. MARTINDALE (Biography) Warren B. Martindale has been a resident of the town of Rochester about four years, during which time he has spent most of his time in Chicago and New York, where his business as inventor and manufacturer calls him. Although, by reason of absence, he does not enjoy an extensive acquaintance with our citizens, yet he is entitled to rank among the “old settlers,” having been born in an adjoining county, Miami, and moved with his parents to Green Oak in this county, in 1851, where his father built a saw mill, the site of which is still a land mark. The Martindale family was among the pioneers of the Eel River Valley and the descendants and collateral
Pa relationship now constitute a large element of the most substantial citizens of that section. W. B. Martindale moved, at the close of the war, to Missouri, where he read law and commenced the practice, but a taste for writing led him into the field of legal literature, first as a contributor to some of the leading periodicals, and afterward as a law book writer. He is the author of two very successful law books, and as such is known to the legal fraternity throughout the country. He married in Missouri and in 1882 moved with his family to Kenosha, Wis., where for a number of years he was editor and proprietor of the Kenosha Courier. After disposing of that paper he became the inventor of a Time Stamp, an ingenious device for stamping time on paper. A company has been organized which under Mr. Martindale’s superintendency, is manufacturing these machines for commercial purposes, and is also building a machine for postoffice use which they hope to have adopted by the Government. It will change the time automatically every minute and postmark and cancel the stamps on forty to sixty thousand letters an hour. [Rochester Sentinel, Friday, September 20, 1895] BUGGY SEAT PATENT One of the drawbacks to comfortable buggy riding when they get so thick as “three in a seat” has been overcome in a most simple and practical manner in a patent just issued to our townsman, Mr. Charles B. Moore. It is a seat for the third passenger in a single buggy and it works like a charm. It is simply a narrow slide seat which pulls out from under the main seat when seating capacity for three is wanted. And the popularity of the patent will at once be recognized when it is stated that it can be put in a new buggy at a cost of less than a half dollar. It is comfortable, convenient, and inexpensive and there is certainly a great market open to such an improvement of buggy seating. Mr. Moore has spent considerable time and money on his patent and as it is one which will greatly conduce to the comfort of humanity at little or no expense the SENTINEL hopes Mr. Moore may realize handsomely on his invention. He is a popular and reliable gentleman and deserving of the confidence of the trade. [Rochester Sentinel, Friday, November 19, 1897] ROCHESTER MAN INVENTOR M. C. Kessler, formerly of this county, but now a resident of Denver, Colo., has just completed a device upon which he has been working since 1899 for the simplifying and cheapening of motive power for auto vehicles which it is thought will revolutionize the industry. Kessler’s new invention has but one cylinder, but it is claimed that it will do the work of a doublecylinder engine. Kessler, who began work on his new machine in 1899 having his experiments upon ideas gathered from the mechanical history of the sixteenth century. Denver capitalists are going to promote the new invention, which is already covered by patents. The inventor expects to greatly reduce the cost of automobiles, as well as to greatly increase their speed, by reducing the weight of the machines. Representatives of one of the largest manufacturing concerns in Denver pronounces it to be one of the greatest of recent times in mechanical engineering. The principle is also adaptable for stationary engines, and will doubtless bring about a similar revolution in hoisting machines, etc. The consumption of fuel will be reduced from one-fourth to one-third of the present expense of developing the same amount of power. Mr. Kessler is a brother of Del Kessler of this city, and is well known here having attended school at Rochester college several years ago. [Rochester Sentinel, Wednesday, March 29, 1905] FORMER ROCHESTER MAN IN BIG SPLURGE IN CHICAGO “Prof.” Benson Bidwell, a former Rochester candy kitchen proprietor, is making quite a splurge in Chicago as inventor.
