"H. & H." Tire Tool. 



"H. & H." TIKE TOOL. 



The illustration shows this simple tire tool in use, and is so 

 clear as to render an elaborate description nnneccssary. The 

 tool is employed to remove or replace lugs, or for putting in 

 the valve stem while replacing an inner tnbc. To place a valve 

 stem or Uig, the 

 hooks are placed 

 under the bead 

 of the shoe and 

 the lever on tlic 

 tread, and the 

 tire pushed back 

 out of the wa\-. 

 Near the end of 

 the handle the 

 tool is made 

 thinner, and 

 there is also a 

 slight ben d. 

 This makes an 

 excellent device 

 for removing the 

 bead of the tire 

 from the rim. 

 The. tool is re- 

 versible, so that its use is equally practicable for large or small 

 tires. [Hancock & Heller, Binghamlon, New York.] 



THE MESINGER TIRE REPAIR BAND. 



Many tourists have found the Mesmger tire repair band of 

 great convenience. It is made of mineral chrome leather, 

 which is tough, soft, and pliable, and water does not affect it. 

 Heavy, strong eyelets are in the sides through which the band 



is secured with a strong 

 leather lacing, and it 

 comes in sizes 2}^, 3, 

 3V2, 4i 4V2 a"d 5 inches, 

 ready to attach to the 

 tire. The Mesinger non- 

 skidding tire band can 

 also be used as a tire 

 band. This band is made 

 of the same material as 

 the repair band, with an e.xtra fabric lining, and steel rivets 

 over the tread. Instead of having tire protectors on the rear 

 wheels, three, four, live or six of these bands are put on 

 to prevent skidding. [H. & F. Mesinger Manufacturing Co..

"NO-WATE" FOOTHOLDS. 



These footholds are just what the name implies, their weight 

 when on the shoe being almost imperceptible. But their light- 

 ness of weight is not their only claim upon the attention of the

bility. Special protection is afforded by a reinforced toe, and 

 for the heel strap, in place of the usual rubber support, an 

 clastic band is substituted. The dainty way in which they are 

 put up appeals to the feminine fancy, each pair being encased 

 in a silk bag, rubber lined, drawn with silk cord — a most con- 

 venient and sightly means of carrying them or packing them.

BOAT AND CANOE CUSHIONS. 



Nothing adds more comfort to canoeing than an air cushion, 

 and the "Zephyr" air cushion has the requisite qualities that 

 comfort implies. They are made in two kinds, single and dou- 

 ble, and in weights ranging from 17 to 46 ounces. The lightest 

 of the single cushions weighs 

 17 ounces and the heaviest 24 

 ounces, while the lightest of 

 the double cushions weighs 34 

 ounces and the heaviest 46. 

 They vary in size also, the 

 smallest being 12 X 12 inches

and the largest 15 X 15, in the single cushions. The double 

 cushions in the smallest size, 12 X 12, have seat and back alike, 

 while the other sizes have seats a few inches larger than the 

 backs. The largest seat in the double cushion is 15 X IS and 

 the back 15 X 28. The covers are made of a fine quality of 

 brown duck, corduroy, or leather. The life-line attachment 

 with which they are equipped gives a feeling of safety which 

 affords the last touch of comfort — the original premise. [Metro- 

 politan An Goods Co., Reading, Massachusetts.]

 trated herewith, is made in all sizes from J4 inch to 3 inches.

 designed, the lines being good, and they are of unusual flexi-

service. It is referred to as being easily and quickly attached, 

 reducing the inside diameter less than other high pressure 

 couplings, and costing less than others. The manufacturers 

 guarantee it particularly in respect of safety. [Knox Manu-
