HERE is a five-pieced emergency coat designed by
Mr. Felberbaum, a Baltimore tailor, as a safety gar-
ment for injured soldiers or civilians. Its distinguishing
characteristic is that the various parts of the coat are
pieced together by metal eyelets and shoestrings.
If the wearer of this garment should desire to detach a
sleeve, he need only cut the string
that holds the sleeve at the shoulder,
and pull off the sleeve. Should he |
wish to dispense with one half of the
coat, he simply cuts the string at the
back of the collar.
The inventor of the device clgims
that this coat can be dissected in less
than a minute, without slashing or |
cutting the garment. He also de-
clares that the coat of detachable
sleeves and back will save lives in
case of emergency.
Mr. Felberbaum obtained a job as
messenger in order to get into the
patent office and other government
quarters for the purpose of boosting
his invention. His deep-laid plan is
to skip hurriedly into an office, and,
while the recipient is signing for his
message, to boost his invention. Mr. |
Felberbaum made the inauguration
vest for former President William |
Howard Taft and the resignation vest
for former Secretary of State William |
Jennings Bryan, |
