C. A. Roberts Secures Patent On Wagon Box Yoke-Rod.

C. A. Roberts, the well- known Hbhggy and implement dealer, has recently been granted a patent on a yoke-rod for a wagon box. It is Intended for use where an extension box is added, and is a simple and rather inexpensive attachment, but is superior to anything yet devised. Mr. Roberts is corresponding with various manufacturers of farm wagons with a view to having them adopt his invention. Some years ago he invented a similar yoke-rod, but it was found to be most too expensive to manufacture to make its use popular. This latter invention can be made for one-third or one-half less money than the former, and we hope Charlie will make a barrel of money out of it.
