NEW GOODS AND SPECIALTIES IN RUBBER. 



THE " IMPERIAL WATER BAG. 



4 SLIGHT defect in a hot water bag n: . 

 _A means of an injury so serious that tc- ^ -.-ii ^^i- 

 ^ -^ and discrimination cannot be made in their choice 

 by the purchaser, or too much care an-; 

 expended in their n. 

 A seamless bag lessens the possi- 

 bility of unexpected leakage :■ 

 the one illustrated herewith 

 longs to this class. Another ad- 

 vantage is that it has a hard n:-- 

 ber neck, which does not abs 

 heat, and consequently does iii_i 

 bum the hands or otherwise make 

 the handling a matter of much dis- 

 comfort. It also has a grommet 

 end which many will consider an 

 additional advantage. Bags of 

 this make, also with the hard rub- 

 ber neck, are supplied for fountain 

 syringes. [The Imperial p-:^--

"rival" heels AND SOLES. 

 A FE.*.TL"RE long sought by manufacturers of rubber heels 

 and soles has been the non slipping quality. The ease of 



walking and the buoyancy 

 movement afforded by the ru. - 

 ber heel, many people have 

 been obliged to forego on ac- 

 count of the fear they enter- 

 tained of slipping. This very 

 desirable non slipping feature 

 has been developed in the 

 •Rival" heels and soles, and 

 safety in walking is thus as- 

 sured. They are composed of a 

 black, tough rubber sto^'- 

 a center of white, pure 

 and ground cork, the latter producing the desired result, 

 that of ensuring the safetv of the wearer. Durabilitv is 



also guaranteed. These qualities combine to remove fr 

 the rubber heels and soles the last vestige of vr-J-^ !:ce :'.. : 

 can justly be felt against them. [.\jas-Gr j-i.,

THE "EVER-KETCH" — A BALL NOVELTY. 

 This is one of the newer games and is creating no t 

 fun not only among children but grown-ups as well. It is 

 equally well suited to a pleasant evening at home or a pub- 

 lic festival. There is a bit of skill required but not enough 



( 



to make it arduous or irksome, and it affords ^ sorprising

THE BOSTON TIRE TREAD. 

 The illnstration relates to a new type of tire protector 

 : has been put upon the market. It differs from other 

 types in that it does not deper ' " ■ 



friction, or external means to 1: 

 tion to the tire, but is mechanicaiiy at: 

 to the casing lugs. Without recourse t-v . _ 

 canizing, by the use of a series of lues con; 

 prising spec" t firmly 



tread to the center '. 



tire, this result is accomplished. This dot

THE "elite" rubber. 

 .\xoTHER novelty in footwear has projected itself into 

 public favor. This time it is a low cut croquet, which 

 is known as the 

 "Elite." It is dain- 

 ty and durable and 

 seems to have a fu- 

 : :-e in store as well

 It is cut to come just

tage claimed for the "Elite " is that it protects the heel of

 ecially desirable for summer and autamn wear, and 

 is made on the Wales-Goody ear popular "English. " " Gem, "
