Many of these artisans, originally from the east, visited the centennial exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. ts By LESTER B. COLBY, (IWlinois Chamber of Commerce.) Do you know where the first gaso-- line engine in all the world was built? Go to Sterling, Ill., and local historians there will tell you, ready to take oath that what they say is One of the startling contrivances there was a mechanical marvel. It I'tu an engint ttaitnopenhd on 't.h'o made a grea Endou on minds of J. B. Williams and<«B. E. Orton. Gasoline was a waste prod-- uct then: run into streams or burned in fares to get rid of it. <If an en-- gine could be run on gas why not on Orton and Williams went to work on it. That was quite a time back. John D. Rockefeller was only 36 then and Standard Oil, as a trust, was not to be norn for another six years. Henry Ford was 13, a schoolboy in Creenfield. Mich. Harry F. Sinclair was only born that year. Yet how the gasoline engine was to affect their fortunes! Thev tell me in Rock Falls and Sterling that, Henry Berger, me-- chanic, now dead and gone and lit-- tle rewarded while he lived, did more than any other man to bring that first gasoline engine into existence. Unforturately there seems to be no written record of the years it took of the money it took--but an engine wa., in"ented the world's"market was estimated at 50 machines. That was tn be saturation noint. But more than 1.000 havs been sold to date. It's a husy world.

The well known world war --used millions of Em of Sterling barbed wire, too. t whether the war was won by birbed wire or the Carolus karbed wire cutter is a mooted ques-- tion in Sterling today., Dr. W. B. Carolus, a practicing physician in Sterling, invented a tool which will snip off a bolt-- or wire in a_twin-- kle up to three--fourths of an inch in diameter, Ever hear of Jrave stones being sold by mail? Walter J. --Moore, of Sterling, conceived the idea of mer-- chandising monuments by mail 30 years ago. The business today is large. He ships all over the United States.

Am-- erican wooden toys are running them out of the market. American wood-- en toys cost more, but they last bet-- ter and save many tears. n One of the outstanding develop-- ments in Rock Falls and Sterling is the wooden toy industry. Rock Falls is the home of the Hustler toys and other toys; wooden dogs that run and bark, wooden beads in many col-- ors, little wooden crews that row Ever hear of a glaamoli farm? Roy E. Shelley as a boy loved to hunt and fish, The outdoors was his. After he was graduated from high school in Sterling he went back to his father's farm, overlooking the Rock river east of Sterling. One day he planted 13 gladioli bulbs! Clare A. Wentzel, normai training schoot teacher, is credited with being the father of the toy industry in Sterling and Rock Falls, The toy business used to be seasonal, limited mostly to Christmas trade. Today it is an all--year business, due largely ly to more freedom with money. moreé travel and summer resort de-- velopment. Yet one plant in Rock Falls has 500,000 toys ready for the holiday trade. It is no untommon thing for the Sterling postoffice to handle 2,500 boxes of 'hdioli bulbs, outbound, in a day. ore go out in barrels and wooden boxes by freight. It was the work the boy loved and it has all grown up in a dozen years! wia Sterling markets--other farm prod-- ucts. Sterling on a tomato is like sterling on silver.-- Sterling brand Those 13 bulbs changed the way of his life. This season he shipped out to the world about 5,000,000 gla-- dioli bulbs.
