KEW "DBPLEX" FOLDABLES. 



THE fishing creel illustrated on this page is lo'/i inches in 

 length, 5 inches in width, and 7J4 inches in depth when 

 open; folded, it is jX^'/iX^'A, a reduction that is quite 

 worth uhilc considering as lessening the burden of a day's sport. 

 These canvas, waterproofed creels, to take the place of the willow 

 trout baskets, can be carried in the tackle case and so be en- 

 tirely out of the way when not in use. Even when filled with

 these and all other 

 inetal parts are ot 

 spring steel and rust- 

 proof. All have shoulder straps and the 

 cover fastens with straps and flat pull down 

 hooks. They are quite as good for small 

 game, alive or dead. The "Duplex," as they are called, have 

 been termed "cuol, practical, portable, washable, waterproof and 

 weatherproof." 



The second illustration relates to a collapsible funnel for u.se 

 by automobilists. It comes in a convenient size, 7'/j inches in di- 

 ameter and sVi inches in depth. It folds into 7V^X3J^Xi]!4- The 

 funnel is made of canvas lined with a special material that is 

 proof against alcohol, gasolene, kerosene, or naphtha, and is 

 equally good for water. Where a tank in auto boats is set over 

 two inchf.s below the casing, a small piece of rubber pipe should 

 be cut to the desired length and attached to the funnel nozzle. 

 The funnel strainer separates the water from the gasolene and 

 prevents chips, straws or dust from passing through the funnel.

"VICTOH" FELT TREAD INNEE TUBE, 



A iMN( TIKE proof and lilowoiil proof tire seems something too 

 good to be true, but that is just what is claimed for the "Victor'' 

 inner lube. The tube is divided by a rubber partition, and th'- 



space between the treail 

 surface and the partition 

 is filled with felt. This 

 ■iinple little felt-filled 

 chamber, it is said, has 

 solved the great question 

 that has been worrying 

 every automobile owner. 

 .X; any rate the manu- 

 f.'icturers offer a guaran- 

 tee with each tube. The 

 tube is referred to as 

 fitting any automobile 

 tire, so that no changes 

 are needed in placing it. 

 It will be seen that with 

 "V'if.TOk" Felt Tke.\d Inner Tube this the need for carry- 



ing extra inner tubes or casings is removed. [The Victor Auto 

 Tire Repair Co., No. 220 Madison street, Passaic, New Jersey.] 



THE THAVER BLOWOUT PATCH. 



The Traver Patent Blowout Patch bids for popularity in that 

 it does not require cement, straps, lacing, or bolts, as it locks on 

 the rim with the shoe and cannot creep. This makes the matter 

 of applying it an easy procedure, unattended by the dread of long, 

 tedious, and even arduous work involved in many methods of 

 repairing. It also has 

 the value of permanency 

 as it fits inside the shoe 

 and will keep in position 

 as long as the shoe lasts. 

 A rim cut which seems 

 almost to defy road re- 

 pairing gives way to the 

 healing of the Traver quite as readily as the blowout yields to its 

 efficacy. A shoe that has been worn to the danger point is made 

 safe and serviceable if the patch is used before a blowout does 

 occur, as the patch builds up the weak spots, relieves the shoe 

 from pressure of the inner tube, and saves the inner tube when 

 the shoe does give out. The Traver patch is made of -Sea Island 

 cotton, covered with rubber vulcanized by the slow live steam 

 process and made flexible on the sides and ends so as not to chafe 

 the inner tube. [Traver Blowout Patch Co., No. 1265 Broadway,

 dirt are expelled by the compressed air chamber. Their light- 

 ness of weight makes them especially adapted for use on women's 

 shoes, and they have a large sale on this account for house shoes. 

 They are made in black and will not bloom. [Pneumatic Cushion

 sanitary wrapper table cloth. 

 No greater advance along any line has been made in the 

 past few decades than that shown in improved methods of sanita- 

 tion in municipalities, in home life, in manufactories and in 

 every department of manufacture where improvement conduces 

 to the health of the consumer. Among the later simple yet sig- 

 nificant advances is that illustrated by the manufacture of cigar- 

 makers' .sanitary wrapper table cloth. This is made in two grades
