Last November, 1877, I expostulated with one of the manufacturers of American machines, because of the high price, saying, as I looked at â one of the machines; These ought to be sold for thirty or forty dollars, instead of one hundred dollars. He replied that such machinesâwith rollers, not platesâthat gave the foundation the exact figure of natural comb, were only made, he thought, by the person who made his machines, and thus â convinced me that said person should be rewarded, amply rewarded, for his invention.
