Show , THIS MONTH MARKS ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT INVENTOR While the month of February is an important month so far as birthdays of national figures are concerned, this February is significant signif-icant as it marks the centennial of the birth of one of the greatest industrial leaders in history. On Feb. 11th, falls the 100th anniversary an-niversary of the birth of Thomas A. Edison, the man to whom credit cred-it is given of raising the standards of living for practically everyone in the country. Not only did he harness electric power to bring a new method of lighting to the world, but through his inventions, we now have such machines as the phonograph, moving picture machine ma-chine and many others, some of which played an important part in winning the war. In short, Edison Ed-ison is the man who has made life easier for his countrymen and others, and so it is fitting that the 100th anniversary of this great man be observed next Tuesday, Feb. 11. |
