NEW TRADE PUBLICATIONS. 



I HE Hartford Rubber Works Co. have issued many 

 -*- good catalogues, but hitherto they have been devoted 

 chiefly to rubber tires. Now comes a bulky but attractive 

 catalogue of their Mechanical Rubber Goods — a department 

 which has been developed to important proportions, without 

 detracting from their continued attention to tires. The cata- 

 logue opens with the subject of Hose, treated very fully, in 

 connection with the company's great variet}' of products in 

 this line — air brake, steam, air drill, garden, conducting, 

 brewer's, annored, acid, gas, pneumatic tool, fire depart- 

 ment, and so on — calling for 43 illustrations. The list em- 

 braces also belting, packing, gaskets, valves, mats and mat- 

 ting, heels and many molded specialties, and also tire and 

 insulating tape. [6;4"X8^''. 128 pages.]

The United St.\tes Rubber Co. 's advertising department 

 issues, for the season of 1906, the customary series of illus- 

 trated and priced catalogues of Rubber Boots and Shoes, 

 a separate one devoted to the products of each of the subsid- 

 iary companies. The catalogues are uniform in size of page, 

 but not otherwise. All are attractively got up, outside and 

 inside, and are models of good catalogue making in their 

 field. The catalogues received are those of the American 

 Rubber Co., Joseph Banigan Rubber Co., Boston Rubber Shoe 

 Co., L. Candee & Co., Goodyear 's India-Rubber Glove 



Mfg. Co., Goodyear 's Metallic Rubber Shoe [ Wales-Good- 

 year] Co., Jersey Rubber Co., Lycoming Rubber Co., Meyer

ADDITIONAL TRADE NOTES. 



'TpHE Elkhart Rubber Works are a new concern estab- 

 -*- lished at Elkhart. Indiana, for the manufacture of 

 mechanical rubber goods and molded specialties. 



=A report which currently in the month at the rubber 

 factory of L. Candee & Co., (New Haven, Connecticut) 

 would be removed to Naugatuck, is authoratively denied. 



=- During the 25 j'ears the Hohmann & Maurer Manu- 

 facturing Co. (Rochester, N. Y.) have been making ther- 

 mometers for industrial purposes, they have several times 

 been obliged to move to larger quarters to accommodate an 

 increasing demand. To provide for further growth, they 

 have purchased a tract of 4 acres on which thej- have erected 

 a model manufacturing plant, with 65,000 feet of floor space, 

 or three times their former capacity. The building has a 

 frontage of 2S0 feet, and is arranged in the form of the letter 

 E, so that the manufacturing is done in four wings, each 40 

 feet wide, thus affording plentj- of light. The building is 

 located on the line of the New York Central railroad, having 

 its own switch for shipping purposes. The space needed 

 for handling the office work alone is 130X40 feet. The 

 building not only trebles their capacity, but gives the com- 

 pany many other advantages. 



s.\wver belting CO. — removal. 

 The Savt^'er Belting Co., formerly of East Cambridge, 

 Massachusetts, have removed their ofiice and plant for the 

 manufacture of Sawyer improved canvas belting to Cleve- 

 land, Ohio. The manufacturing capacity of the new plant is 

 larger than the old and improved machinery has been added. 

 On account of nearness to the coal fields the power cost is 

 cheaper and there are assurances of a plentiful supply of help 

 and better shipping facilities. The company caters largely 

 to the western and jobbing trade and large consumers in the 

 central states. The selling department is managed by Mr. 

 George W. Taite, who was connected with the company at 

 the old address ; the manufacturing end is attended toby Mr. 

 William Schneider, superintendent, and Mr. Amos Pettingel, 

 in charge of the stitching department.
