cA VISIT TO THE "RUBBER PLANTATIONS. 



Beginning with the May issue of The India Rubber 

 World, there will appear the first of a series of articles, 

 entitled "A Trip Through the Tierra Caliente," which will 

 be a record of the personal observation of the Editor din- 

 ing a recent trip to the rubber plantations in southern 

 Mexico. The articles will be well illustrated, and will 

 describe typical plantations and the various conditions 

 that surround the pioneer work in the country named. 



A Calendar for Advertisers. 



The calendar for the current month which appears on" this page is 

 commended to the attention of advertisers in The India Rubber 

 World who may desire a change in their announcements in the forth- 

 coming issue. We have always hesitated to fix any arbitrary rule as to the 

 latest date in the month on which advertising copy will be received, for 

 reasons may develop, just before the printing of the paper, to make a 

 change of advertisement desirable. At 

 the same time, it will add to the con- 

 venience of the business office if those 

 who intend sending in advertising 

 " copy " will consider, not the latest 

 date on which it can be handled, but 

 the earliest date on which it can be 

 furnished. It has happened that copy 

 for changes has been received so late 

 that, in attempting to accommodate 

 our patrons, the issue of the paper 

 has been delayed, while in other in- 

 stances it has been necessary to delay 

 printing the change for a whole 

 month, to another issue. It would be 

 desirable if changes for any advertise- 

 ment now standing in the paper, in- 

 tended for our May issue, should 

 reach us not later than April 23 — the 

 date marked on the calendar here 

 with.

A Subscriber Who Wants Ebery Number.

 in renewing his subscription to The India Rubber World, writes : 



" I hope this money will reach you safely, as I would not miss one 

 number of your valuable paper."

A Book that is " Up to Date." 



" We failed to appreciate from the advertisements of ' Crude Rubber 

 and Compounding Ingredients ' that it was really so well up to date as in 

 examination of your book has shown it to be. We should suggest that 

 in future advertisements of it, you emphasize the fact that it embodies 

 the latest practice in the rubber industry." 



For the Rubber Man's Library. 



A hound volume of I'm. India Rubber World containing the 

 twelve monthly numbers issued during a year not only contains more 

 reading matter than can be found-in any other book devoted to India- 

 rubber and allied interests, but represents the work of more persons 

 qualified to write upon these topics and covers a wider range. The 

 India RUBBER World for the twelve months ending September 1, 1902, 

 contains more than the usual number of articles of a practical character 

 on the processes and factory equipment of the rubber industry, from 

 the pens of experts. There are also many articles, illustrated as a rule, 

 describing new applications of rubber. The paper is a complete record 



of the important news of the trade 

 during the year in all lands — relating 

 to the establishment of new compa- 

 nies, changes in old ones, election of 

 officers, financial reports, etc. The 

 reports bearing upon the market con- 

 ditions of crude rubber are explicit 

 and accurate. The paper is also a 

 complete record of progress in rubber 

 planting. Among other features of 

 the paper is a record of United States 

 and foreign rubber patents. This 

 information may be of most value as 

 supplied month after month to our 

 subscribers, but much of it is worth 

 preserving for future reference, and 

 for this purpose the journal should 

 be in bound form. The price of these 

 volumes is $5 each, prepaid. Vol- 

 umes for former years can also be 

 supplied.

Praise From a High Source.

 ommended to me by Messrs. David Williams & Co., of The Iron Age

 like to subscribe for your journal, and also advertise in it. Send me 



rates. Yours truly,

"The India Rubber World" for Home Reading.

 for a second copy, to be sent to the private address of our Director ' 

 [after which follows the address.] " Please let us know how much the
