Dowling Forms
Big Company to
Exploit Invention
(Valdez Prospector).
The Shell Grenade Ammunition Co.
is the name of a new corporation
formed here to exploit the invention
of T. J. Dowling for an improved
shrapnel shell, a description of which
was recently published in the daily
paper.
The incorporation was perfected
yesterday, the capital being entirely
supplied by local men, and Mr. Dowl
ing will leave on the first boat for
the states, and will go directly east,
where he will have a number of the
shells made and give a demonstra
tion before officials of the U. S. or
dinance department and representa
tives of several foreign governments.
The corporation is a close one, the
capital stock being fixed at $25,000,
of which Mr. Dowling holds a con
trolling interest. The remainder of
the stock has been taken by local
parties.
Mr. Dowling has been issued a pat
ent in the United States for his in
vention and has patents pending in
three foreign countries. The inven
tion is an extremely novel one and
promises to revolutionize warfare in
the trenches. Mr. Dowling has sub
mitted his invention to a number of
ordnance experts in the states, both
in the U. S. artillery and of foreign |
governments, and has been warmly |
commended on his new sliell. It it.
said to be a radical departure from
the old style of shrapnel and far
more efficient. As coon as he has
made a demonstration of the shell he
will enter into negotiations with the
government or with the representa
tives of the foreign governments for
the patent.
