Stanley Mason had something in common with Thomas Edison and Jerome Lemelson, who we profiled over the last two articles: They each realized early in their inventing careers that there was no use inventing anything which could not be sold at a profit. This is important when you consider that 98 percent of all patents fail to produce a profit... Newspaper Connection for Students: 1. See how many of Stanley Mason´s inventions you can find the next time you go to the grocery store. 2. Take your notebook or scrapbook and a copy of this story with you, and write down the names of his inventions that you see on the shelves. Like many great inventors, Stanley improves existing products and creates entirely new ones.
