Mr. Miller not only makes the fly pwatters, but he is an inventor as Well and has patented his idea of the durable article, but, never satisfied, he has improved his first invention many times and during the summer. he. has been perfecting his ideas and has just arrived at his final decision for a perfect article after making four changes before he. could get the finished product to suit his requirements. Now Uses Wire Handler, Mr. Miller has improved his Invention by doing away with the wooden handle and using a twisted wipe handle which he is also fastening onto the screen or swatter in a more durable manner. With the new bend in the equally new wire handle all breakage will practically be dono away with and the handle will be vulcanized on securely by Tound rubber discs- 0 In addition to making fly swattftrs Mr. Miller makes all of his machinery used in the process and the garage at his home, wnich constitutes his workshop, is filled with punch press, various dies and other equipment which he has invented and made 'to suit his needs. He is now working on a die for making the four bends in the end of the wire handle which he expects to perfect in a few days and he has just completed a machine for bending and twisting the wire handle, which is made from a 4t)-inch piece of wire. Mr. Miller formerly ordered his wooden handles from Waupaca, Wis., but was unable to get his last order for 30,000 of them and so decided to make his own and is now independent, making the entire article himself. Started in 1924 He has been making fly swatters since 1924 when his invention waspatented and although he has not kept a record of how many he has made," the number will run plenty high. He sells to stores, dealers and wholesalers, including local stores, with one local firm selling nineteen dozen of the swatters this season. He has filled orders for 100 gross at a.time and has sent some to England andi Historian -- Dorothy' :Hollister, of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Richardson and children and Mr. and Mrs. Cooley are visiting in .the Dwight Williams home in Mississippi.
