When To Send In Advertising "Copy." 



OUR advertisers would confer a great favor upon the Publisher if, in 

 sending in " copy " for changes, they would endeavor to do so 

 as long as possible in advance of the date of publication — which 

 is the last day of the month. We do not desire to fix any arbitrary rule 

 as to the latest date in the month on which advertising copy will be re- 

 ceived, 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 convenience 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. 

 Time should be allowed for sending proofs to the advertiser. 



Three Rubber Planting Companies Write : 



From Milwaukee: "We have always held THB INDIA RUBBER 

 WORLD ill high esteem, as we have known it to be thoroughly reliable, 

 and the paper of the country when it comes to treating on matters per- 

 taining to India-rubber. - - - I don't understand how we could run our 

 office without it." 



From St. Louis : " The India Rubber World has been a welcome 

 visitor at this office for several years, and the items concerning the plant- 

 ing and cultivation of rubber have been much appreciated." 



From Boston : " We refer to your publication quite frequently, and 

 as we keep it on file in our agents' reading room, they find much to in- 

 terest and instruct them." 



The Latest Practice in The 'Rubber Industry. 



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

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

 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." 



Bound Volumes. 



A few bound volumes of The India Rubber World can still be 

 supplied — pretty good looking volumes, we think, and we have heard 

 some favorable things said about their contents. The latest order to 

 come to hand is from Australia, where our paper has had some appre 

 ciative readers since the year one of its publication. 



Rubber of Interest to an Eastern Editor. 



A subscription order for this Journal comes from the edilorial office 

 of one of the oldest and most important daily newspapers in the Far 

 East. There is yet some news that doesn't travel by wire, and we trust 

 that the wireless news contained in The India Rubber World will be 

 of service to our far off contemporary.

Complete Your Files. 



\\ B have inquiries every month for back numbers to complete sets of 

 THE India Ki BBI k WoRI i>, from subscribers who, on taking stock of 

 their files, find gaps. Late orders of this kind are from London, Nor- 

 way, and Singapore. We shall not be able long, however, to fill such 

 orders, and if there are others desirous of completing sets, it might be 

 well to apply early. 



Rubber in the 'Philippines. 



We are not able yet to say whether there is much rubber in the Phil- 

 ippines, but that an interest in rubber is felt by somebody is indicated 

 by the constant demand from there for rubber literature. The United 

 States government is a subscriber for five copies of The Indi \ R 

 World for various officials in the Philippines, in addition to the copks 

 which go out to private addresses in the archipelago. 



Much Traveled " India (Rubber Worlds." 



The mails have brought to us from India six back numbers of The 

 India Ri bber World, recently advertised for on this page, which 

 proves that a little advertisement may go a long way— and bring results. 

 These papers, while they may not have gone round the world, certainly 

 have traveled twice half way round. 



November {1902) Issues Wanted. 



Though we plan to print every month a sufficient number of copies 

 of The India Rubber World to supply every want, the demand for 

 our November issue was so much greater than usual that we were obliged 

 to begin declining orders for it very early in the month. We trust that 

 some of our friends who do not file their copies will oblige us by sending 

 in several at an early date, for which we shall be pleased to pay 25 cents 

 each, either in cash or by crediting their subscription accounts.
