The Mother of Invention

The Mother of Invention

Complaint is the mother of invention. That’s why Grampton Industries has created the Grampton Gripe Grapevine. Call in and complain. They plan to take any burr that happens to be under your saddle and patent an invention that will solve it.

The public seems to be embracing the concept
