[October i, 1905. 



corporators are William A. Byrider, John Byrider, James A. 

 Swinehart, P. D. Hall, and C. T. Grant— all of Akron. The 

 capital is $6000, instead of $60,000, as under the old charter. 

 This company is a holding company, owning the foreign 

 patents on the Swinehart "side wire" tire, made in the United 

 States under royalty by The B. F. Goodrich Co., The Diamond 

 Rubber Co., and the Firestone Tire and F^ubber Co., and in 

 Europe by a number of leading makers, from whom the Colo- 

 nial company derive royalties. 



ALLING RUBBER STORES SYNDICATE. 

 Under the name The Ailing Rubber Co., a rubber goods 

 store is to be opened about October i at No. 261 Main street, 

 Springfield, Massachusetts, in charge of Mr. F. C. Hubbell, who 

 has been connected with the stores of The Ailing Rubber Co. 

 at Bridgeport and Hartford. Connecticut, for two years past. 



This makes the 

 tenth rubber 

 goods store con- 

 ducted by the 

 Ailing interests, 

 the first nine being 

 located in C o n- 

 necticut. The be- 

 ginning of this in- 

 teresting and 

 unique chain of 

 stores dates from 

 September, 1890. 

 when Noyes E. 

 Ailing, who for 

 several years had 

 been a traveling 

 salesman in the 

 rubber clothing 

 line, established a 

 store at Norwich_ 

 NOYES E. ALLiNQ. Connecticut, for 



the sale of rubber goods generally. In the next year his brother, 

 W. S. Ailing, became a partner in this store, and in May, 1895, 

 he purchased the entire interest in the store. Later that year 

 Noyes E. Ailing acquired and consolidated two rubber goods 

 stores at Bridgeport and the business has since been conducted 

 under the name The Ailing Rubber Co., a corporation, which 

 has since opened several branch stores. It may be of interest 

 to give the whole list of the Ailing stores, with the ownership 

 and date of establishment: 



Ailing Rubber Co. (W. S. Ailing, proprietor). — Norwich, Septem- 

 ber I, 1S90 ; New London, April i, 1904. 



The Ailing Rubber Co. ( N. E. Ailing, president ; Arthur E. Ailing, 

 secretary .ind treasurer). — Bridgeport, November i, 1895; New

 1904, Springfield ( Massachusetts), October i, njo;. 



N. E. Ailing, whose headquarters are at the Bridgeport store, 

 is the buyer of the larger portion of the goods for all of the 

 above named stores. Each of the houses has a local manager 

 who has been trained in this chain of stores. In addition to 

 his interest in rubber, Mr. N. E. Ailing, in February, 1899, be- 

 came connected with a furniture and house furnishing goods 

 company in Bridgeport, and since that date has served as sec- 

 retary and treasurer of the same. 



NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS. 



United States Rubber Co. : 



Rubber Goods Manufacturing Co. : 



UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. 

 It is reported that the new issues of this company will be 

 listed on the New York stock exchange shortly. There has 

 been trading recently in the "outside market" in the second 

 preferred shares " when issued," at 79 @ 80. According to 

 gossip in the trade there is a considerable expectation that 

 dividends on the common stock will be resumed at the regular 

 monthly meeting of directors in October. There ate no known 

 facts, however, to support this assumption. The last dividend 

 paid on the common shares was on April 30, 1900. 



THE FAULTLESS RUBBER CO. (aKRON, OHIO.) 

 The Faultless Rubber Co. are constructing some important 

 additions to their factory, and the new buildings are of fire- 

 proof construction, with a view to the ultimate conversion of 

 the whole plant to buildings of this class. There is now under 

 way a three story building, to be made of tile and concrete, 

 and it is planned to follow this with two similar buildings, all 

 of which it is hoped to complete within a few months. The 

 company need additional room badly, and it is stated that the 

 additions referred to will double the capacity of the factory. 



SUED BY THE STANDARD OIL CO. 

 Suit was filed at Akron, Ohio, on August 1 1, by the Stand- 

 ard Oil Co., against The Lilly Rubber Manufacturing Co. and 

 the individual shareholders therein, for $259 61 for naphtha 

 supplied to the defendants' factory. The case has not yet come 

 to trial, but several of the defendants have filed answers, and 

 among them Irvin R. Benner, a shareholder, who alleges that 

 the plaintiff, the Standard Oil Co., is not a corporation, but a 

 "trust," carrying on business in the state of Ohio in violation 

 of the anti trust laws of Ohio and of the United States, and 

 therefore not entitled to any standing in court. 



VENTILATION AND HEATING COMBINED. 

 Experience has clearly demonstrated that in this climate 

 no system of ventilation can be successfully operated by it- 

 self and independently of the method of heating that may be 

 adopted. It is, in fact, a vital element of success that the 

 two systems be most intimately combined, for they are clearly 

 interdependent, and when properly applied are so interwoven 

 in their operation and results that disunion is certain to bring 

 ab)ut failure. For the purpose of ventilation, the fan was first 

 applied upon a practical scale about the middle of this cen- 

 tury, but only to a limited extent, and it was not until the 

 fan and the steam heater in marketable form were intro- 

 duced by B. F. Sturtevant that the so-called " Blower sys-
