The Most Illustrious Partnership of Wallaby, Buskerton & Crust was concieved by three gentlemen of most excellent standing and intelligence.

It began with an idea-

The Most Incredible Mr. E.G. Wallaby and his partners received a demonstration of an amazing apparatus- The Steam-Powered Autonomous Flesh-Stripper. It's creator, a young chap by the name of Augustus Elsworth showed that the device, when employed in the butchery industry, could peel the skin from the bones of a cow in under five seconds- utilizing an internal, inscrutible power source. Even more convenient was its ability to determine the best methods to *ahem* peel the animal! Of course, the dashed fool knew not what he posessed, and was down on his luck. Thus it happened that the Partners purchased his patent for a single bottle of wine and transformed it into the Astounding WB&C Tater Peel-ator, a wonderful device employed today in churches, schools and orphanages across the country.

That was when the Partners learned just how many talented ladies and gentlemen are starving to bring their concepts to the marketplace. The Illustrious Three love to hear from inventors all around the globe, and are more than happy to offer up a few quid (or perhaps whatever chemical substance one needs for musing) for a good idea. So submit your works for approval- and who knows? Perhaps you, too, can be acquired by the Partners, mind, body and soul!

(This is not a real company.)
