THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



321 



=The Stoughton Rubber Co. (Boston, Massachusetts) have 

 given up their retail store at No. 24 Summer street and have 

 moved to No. 232 Summer street, the heart of the wholesale 

 district, where they have fitted up fine headquarters. 



= A gorgeous poster in many colors and full of life and spirit 

 has been brought out by the Peerless Rubber Manufacturing 

 Co. (New York). It represents a " Free For All Handicap " 

 horse race, and a 100 yard dash human race. In fact it is very 

 racy, and beyond that is well worth sending for. The motif 

 of the picture, by the way, has to do with rubber packing. 



= The machinery, stock, patents, etc., of the Munger Auto- 

 mobile Tire Co. (Trenton, New Jersey) which lately went into 

 the hands of a receiver, have been sold at auction, the whole 

 outfit bringing §2400. A dealer in second-hand machinery from 

 Philadelphia was the purchaser. 



=The factory of the Seamless Rubber Co. (New Haven, Con- 

 necticut) has been idle since the middle of May. At that time 

 the general superintendent, James A. Murray, stated that the 

 employes had been laid off because the factory was short of 

 coal, and that coal could not be secured on account of the 

 teamsters' strike. 



= The Maynard Shoe Co. (Claremont, New Hampshire), 

 who for some time past have done an extensive business in rub- 

 ber soled canvas shoes, will put in plant for the extensive 

 manufacture of tennis shoes. It is reported that Joseph W. 

 Elberson, so long identified with the rubber industry at Setau- 

 ket, Long Island, will have charge of this department. 



=The Kokomo Rubber Co. (Kokomo, Indiana) have not de- 

 parted from their annual rule of adding to their plant. This 

 year, however, the addition is greater than ever, comprising a 

 large brick building and a duplication of the whole of their 

 rubber machinery, engines, and boilers. 



CONSOLIDATED RUBBER TIRE CO. 



At the annual meeting of the stockholders, at Jersey City, 

 New Jersey, on May 4, the directors were reelected, as follows: 

 Isaac L. Rice, Emerson McMillin, Stephen Peabody, Martin 

 Maloney, Frederick A. Seaman, Van H. Cartmell, and Russell 

 H. Landale. Samuel W. Ehrich, a director elected in 1902, 

 had retired during the year, being succeeded at the time by 

 Mr. Landale, a lawyer of No. 170 Broadway, New York, sup- 

 posed to represent interests of Talbot J. Taylor & Co. Mr. 

 Cartmell was reelected president and Mr. Seaman secretary and 

 treasurer. No financial statement was made public. 



PERSONAL MENTION. 



Colonel Harry E. Converse, of the Boston Rubber Shoe 

 Co. entertained a number of guests at a " housewarming," on 

 the evening of May 8, when his new summer residence, "The 

 Moorings," at Marion, Massachusetts, was thrown open for the 

 first time. Colonel Converse purchased an estate of 65 acres 

 there in 1898, and last year had plans prepared for what proves 

 to be the finest residence on Buzzard's Bay. 



= Mr. William VV. Small, of Newark, New Jersey, who was in 

 the Acre territory during the whole of the disturbances there 

 which began in August last, returning home only after naviga- 

 tion to the seaboard was reopened, started for Bolivia again on 

 May 6, with a view to perfecting titles to rubber lands in which 

 he is interested, together with some friends in the rubber trade 

 in this country. 



= Mr. Max Loewenthal, treasurer of the U. S. Rubber Re- 

 claiming Works (New York), has gone to Europe for a four 

 months' vacation. 



= Mr. Joseph F. McLean, president of the Pequanoc Rubber 

 Co. (Butler, New Jersey) was reappointed treasurer of the 

 County of Morris, New Jersey, by a unanimous vote of both 



tin- l)em»cralic aiid Republican freeholders of that county, at 

 their annual meeting on May 13. and on the same day filed his 

 bond for $100,000, which was promptly accepted. In politics 

 Mr. McLean is a Republican, but the compliment implied in 

 the unanimous vote given to him shows that his friends are 

 numbered in both parties. 



= Mr. William T. Baird, president of the Rubber Trading Co. 

 (New York), accompanied by Mrs. Baird, sailed on May 9 for a 

 two months' absence in Europe, intending to touch first at 

 Gibraltar. 



= Mr. Elmer E. Bainbridge, who represents the Lake Shore

 fice of The Inih a Rubber World. 



= Mr. Charles W. Barnes, who has charge of the American 

 line of rubber footwear at the Boston office of the United States 

 Rubber Co.. was married on April 29 to Miss Mary S. Piper, 

 for several years one of the most capable of the stenographic 

 stall of the company. The newly married pair visited Old 

 Point Comfort on their wedding journey. 



= Mr. Otto Meyer, of Boston, well known in crude rubber 

 circles, was recently united in marriage to Miss Irma E. Neil, 

 of the same city. 



A WEDDING IN THE GOODYEAR FAMILY. 



On May 27. at the Church of the Holy Trinity, on Lenox 

 avenue. New York, was celebrated the marriage of Miss Kath- 

 erine Francis Goodyear, daughter of Professor William Henry 

 Goodyear, to her cousin, Mr. Nelson Goodyear, third and

 year, the inventor, was survived by two sons, whose names ap- 

 pear above. The elder, Charles, who assisted in the affairs of 

 his father and was the executor of his will, died in 1896. The 

 other son, William Henry, is curator of the museum of fine 

 arts of the Brooklyn Institute and a writer and lecturer of note 

 on architectural topics. Nelson Goodyear, the bridegroom, 

 studied architecture in Paris, and besides at Flushing, New 

 York.

 vice president in 1901. Mr. Sanxay was a man of genial and 

 sociable disposition, and easily made and retained friends. He 

 was a member of the Brooklyn Club, the Marine and Field

 ters and a mother and brother to mourn his early death.
