several rub-

 began to grow and finally became their most important line 

 and demanded increased facilities. Larger quarters were ob-

 cheerful place to drop into. The Bay State company are 

 turning out an extensive line of rubber tubing machines, 

 hydraulic presses, self vulcanizing wagon and automobile 

 tire molds, bicycle tire molds, and molds for various kinds 

 of mechanical goods. The familiarity of Mr. Allen, the 

 president and superintendent, with the rubber business, as
