HENRY'S INVENTION!

          HENRY'S INVENTION! 

   Regular followers of this blog know I

enjoy telling you about inventors and

some of their inventions that have changed

our everyday lives in some way. I can't

really say that about Henry Tibbe's

invention. It didn't have any impact on

most people's lives. But, in a way, you

could say it had a small effect on helping

us win World War II! You see Henry's

patent of this date in 1878 was for 

improvements to the corn cob pipe!

And you'd be hard pressed to find a

photograph of General Douglas MacArthur.

who lead out forces in the war against

Japan, in which he did not have his

trademark corn cob pipe! I guess it

served him pretty well. So put that in

your pipe and smoke it! Hope you're well

and that all your NEWS is good!
