NEW GOODS AND SPECIALTIES IN RUBBER. 



TWO ATTRACTIVE NOVELTIES IN MATTING. 



WHEREAS formerly the chief thought of the manu- 

 facturersof rubber matsand matting was to produce 

 articles of utility, at a cost which would induce lib- 

 eral buyint;. there is now evident a disposition to 

 produce such j^ouds in .lUractive patterns, indicating a demand 



on the part of 

 the users for 

 something that 

 will look well 

 and now and 

 then possess a 

 distinctive 

 novelty. In this 

 line m a y be 

 mentioned two 

 DELTA. new articles il- 



lustrated in accompanying cuts. The first is described as the 

 '■ Delta " matting. It is a runner which is as handsome in ap- 

 pearance as a strip of carpet, and suitable for the finest store or 



foran apart- 

 ment house. 

 It is light in 

 weight and 

 easily han- 

 d I ed, but 

 made of a 

 com pound 

 which ren 

 ders it dur- 

 able. It is 

 u nderstood 

 ruRiTAN. to be no 



more expensive than the plain corrugated runner. It is car- 

 ried in stock in the standard width of 27 inches and in 50 yard 

 rolls, but can be furnished in any other length wanted. = ^The 

 second article illustrated is the " Puritan " mat — a household 

 door mat. This is a distinct departure from the old style mat. 

 It is made with a deep diamond cell body and corrugated 

 border. The cells clean the shoes thoroughly and retain the 

 dirt, thus preventing the soiling of the floor or carpet beneath. 

 While intended primarily for private residences, this mat is 

 equally adaptable for store or office use. It is made in two 

 sizes: 17 X 31 inches and 21 >; 36 inches. [The Peerless Rub- 

 ber Manufacturing Co., New York.] 



NOVEL PERFUMERY BOTTLE. 

 Among the novelties put out for the holiday trade recently 

 was one which is understood to have been 

 a particularly good seller. It was nothing 

 more or less than a small perfumery con- 

 tainer made in the shape of a nursing bot- 

 tle, as indicated in the illustration. The 

 little bottle was not only attractive in 

 appearance, but filled with a good qual- 

 ity of extract. The novelty possessed the 

 quality of originality, and in addition 

 that of humor, which afforded fun mak- 

 ing possibilities. It could be retailed at 

 10 cents. [American News Co., New York.] 



A NEW TENNIS SOLE FROM CANADA. 



The substantial and progressive character of the rubber in- 

 dustry in Canada is indicated by the continual production of 

 n o ve 1 1 ies by 

 the various fac- 

 tories in the 

 Dominion, 

 some oi which 

 are especially 

 attractive. In 

 this category 



deserves to be noted a " tennis " sole in a new pattern, shown 

 in the illustration, which is used exclusively on the " Daisy " 

 liae of sporting shoes— yachting, tennis, bowling, lacrosse, and 

 gymnasium — manufactured for the 1906 trade by The Berlin 

 Rubber Manufacturing Co., Limited. (Berlin, Ontario). 

 DR. TULLAR's FAMILY SYRINGE. 



The improved fountain syringe shown in the illustration 

 has the new Tullar shaped bag 

 with large opening for easy fill- 

 ing and cleansing. It it luted 

 with an extra large outlet, and 

 special tubing. The curved va- 

 ginal pipe has no central aper- 

 ture, and is made to discharge a 

 ball or cup shaped spray. The 

 outlet from this bag permits 3 

 quarts of water to be discharged 

 in one minute. The straight va- 

 ginal pipe has twenty outlets. 

 The adult and infant enema pipes 

 are ball pointed, with three out- 

 lets, arranged to discharge 

 obliquely. This design of pipe 

 is considered a great improve- 

 ment over the one outlet enema 

 pipes supplied with the old style 

 syringes. The general design 

 of this syringe is new, the stock 

 and workmanship first quality, and it is in good demand with 

 the high class trade. [The Seamless Rubber Co., New Haven, 

 Connecticut.] 



TWO NEW PACKINGS. 

 The basis of a new packing called " Ima " is a vegetable fiber 

 derived from Mexico and subjected to a process developed by 

 Mr. E. R. Ware, of Worcester, Massachusetts, an engineer im- 

 pressed with the desirability of a steam or pump packing that 

 would be durable and would not harden or absorb oil or water. 

 Having obtained by experimenting an oil proof and acid proof 

 compound, he next began to look for a satisfactory fiber to use 

 in connection with it, finally selecting a cotton like fiber which 

 he discovered in Mexico. A company has been incorporated to 

 make the new packing, with a factory at Worcester. ==The 

 same company will manufacture " Carbo-Asbesto," as a substi- 

 tute for asbestos packing, which, it is claimed, will stand the 

 heat of 6oo°F., and is intended for use particularly in gasoline 

 automobiles. The chemical compound involved will be simi- 

 lar to that used in " Ima" packing. [The Ima Packing Co., 

 No. 29 Broadway, New York.]
