Curtis Engineer Honored as "Modern P,oneert'

Sern Madsen, Engineer and Research Director of Curtis Companies, Incorporated, Clinton, Iorva, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork, was one of a group of "Modern Pioneers" honored by the National Association of Manufacturers at a banquet and program held recently in Chicago.

The Modern Pioneer program is industry's observance of the l50th anniversary of the founding of the American patent system. The movement began last July when scientific organizations and business groups were invited to nominate those persons whom they believed had enhanced living standards and created employment through their patented discoveries and inventions during the last 25 years.

In announcing the Chicago regional program, James D. Cunningham, chairman of the committee, pointed out:

"Throughout American history new jobs, new industries and higher standards of living have been produced by inventions and discoveries on the frontiers of industry. The patent system, established in 17X), has provided a stimulus not only to the inventor and research worker, but also the manufacturer and investor. It has typified, perhaps better than any other American institution, the American principle of reward and individual initiative. America is dependent upon its modern pioneers for new goods, new service and new enrployment opportunities. All America pays tribute in the Modern Pioneers program to these creators of higher standard of living and to the patent system upon rvhich the fruits of their genius is dependent."

Mr. Madsen was nominated and selected as a modern pioneer for his many contributions to the woodwork and building industry. During his many years of service with Curtis Companies, Incorporated, he has received sixty-nine patents and has fifteen more pending. One of his outstanding achievements rvas the development of the Curtis Silentite Pre-Fit Window Unit-the first basic improvement in double-hung lr'indow construction in nearly three hundred years. He has also developed the Curtis Silentite Casement Unit-Mitertite Trim-and numerous other products and machines n'hich have greatly improved modern woodwork and modern homes.

The Curtis' research Department pioneered the development of toxic treatment for .ivindows, frames and other woodwork. Mr. Madsen is also the inventor of many improved machines and nerv methods used in the production of fine builder's woodwork.
