LIFE SAVING APPARATUS
FOR PRIVY VAULTS

ALARUMS

U.S. Patent No. 270,995

And
EXCURSIONS
In 1883, the year of this invention, the outdoor privy must have ornamented just about every farm and city yard, so falling through a rotten privy floor could have been the great American tragedy.

Our inventor probably was installed in the outhouse of fame for his clever idea of putting a ladder along the wall of a privy pit, giving the unfortunate victims a lift up to daylight (or moonlight).
