It’s Time to Show Off Your Creative Side

Most of us, at one time or another in our adult lives, have wished for something – some type of farm equipment, tool or handheld gadget that would make doing housework and/or chores easier and quicker.

If you could invent one thing to do just that, what would it be?

Would it be something to make painting your house less time-consuming – and less messy? Maybe it would be a tool to quicken the job of planting a garden. Perhaps it would be an all-in-one tool for cooking. Or maybe it would be a gadget to ease the chore of changing the oil in your vehicles and/or farm machinery.

Tell us about your creative inventions. Send your letters and high-quality photos (no photocopies, please; send appropriate-sized SASE with adequate postage for return of photos) to CAPPER’s, Heart of the Home, 1503 S.W. 42nd St., Topeka, KS 66609-1265, or email them (photos must be jpeg or tiff, at least 300 dpi) to Editor@Cappers.com
