says:
I An <ifl>r of $1,000,0000 cash and ! $500,000 per year for the rest of his lift* has been received by Ernest! Patrick, world-famous radio ielevis-1 ion genius who lives near here, from | the Crosley Radio Corporation "f :
Cincinnati, Ohio.
This offer is one of about 75 n-; reived front corporations all over the [ world by younjr Patrick. Many of j these corporations have already sent technician.' to see the television ret in action, and all pronounce it as the most amazing thing in this line
of experimentation.
Technicians of the Crosley company have been here on several occasions, and have remained with young Patrick until 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning expeiimititinc. The Crosley technicians said that it was nstoundinK- Final arrangements in the big (leal are up to Ross CTossley, Ji:., president of the Cror-ley corporation. He is coming to the Patrick home hi person and see the sot. His offer of $1,000,000 cash for the idea is to be paid with a certified check and royalty agreements arc for j $500,000 per annum, i Although /Patrick lias not defin- ! itely accepted the offer, his seven law- [ vers have advised him to do so, Patj rick said. Hundreds of offers whereI by he could live a life of ease and | luxury have been received and invitations have been extended to study, experiment and convene with world famous engineers in Europe, Asia, and
the United States.
Patrick completed an extensive trip through most of the tales of the union last week, having witnessed the action of many television sets built by outstanding engineers. All of them he said, display only the dim shadow of the original picture, while his set is rich in every detail, even to color. That fact is what amazes the technicians who have seen Patrick’s set. All are convinced Patrick has the edge on every other “contestant” in the field. All expenses of the trip were paid by corporations interested, Patrick having taken the trip Ihrough their extended invitations. “After I get my million dollars,” Patrick said, “I’m going to take a tour of the world first. Six months ago I never dreamed I’d ever make a cent on the set. I made it jtfst as 1 hobby. Electrical exp* rimenting has
i always been my hobby.
The genius is working on eleven ' other inventions, all of which tiie j same uncanny my-tery as shrouds the I television set. One of these inven- | tions, which Patrick doesn’t wish to lie circulated, will positively revolutionize the automotive industry, if one can rely on what Crosley’* expert technicians say.
