NOTES FROM AKRON, OHIO. 



Thk Swinehart Clincher Tire and Rubber Co., having 

 more than doubled their business within the two years since 

 their organization, have increased their capitalization from 

 §100,000 to $200,000. This action was taken for the purpose 

 of enlarging their plant to meet the growing demand for 

 their tires. A new factory, which will make the company's 

 capacity more than twice as large, has been nearly complet- 

 ed. It is for this building, and for its equipment with ma- 

 chinery that the increased capitalization will be necessary. 



The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. have been adding to 

 their force of machinists and motor tire makers. The orders 

 received lately have caused the plant to work to the extent 

 of their capacity. 



The Aladdin Rubber Co., located at West Barberton, Ohio, 

 opened their factory on April 18. Theconipanj- will reclaim 

 rubber and has an extensive plant. For several months the 



work of installing machinery and getting the plant into 

 shape for operation has been in progress. The company em- 

 ploys 25 men. This force, however, will be greatly enhanced 

 during the summer season. 



A LARGE RUBBER BELT. 



Tiiiv illustration herewith is based upon a photograph of a 

 rubber belt, ten ply, 72 inches wide, and 140 feet long, man- 

 ufactured by the IManhattan Rubber Manufacturing Co. 

 (Passaic, New Jersey). It is known as their "Condor" 

 belt, weighs 3000 pounds, and is to be used as a main drive 



in the mill of the Bryant Paper Co. (Kalamazoo, Michigan). 

 The belt was sold for the manufacturers by Mr. E. P. Thom- 

 as, special paper mill salesman of their Chicago store, and 

 the photograph shows Mr. Thomas standing bj' the roll of 

 belt, which, by the way, the manufacturers believe to be the 

 longest 6 foot belt in existence. 



DIXON'S SILICA-GRAI'HITK PAINT 

 With the advent of spring nature throws off the dead 

 graj'S and dull browns of the winter season and gives to all 

 verdure and vegetation the bright and beautiful green that 

 harmonizes so well with warm sunshine and bright skies. 

 And the man who is thrifty and enterprising, if he owns 

 buildings, looks them over, and follows nature's example of 

 rejuvenation. Wood and iron and even brick and stone 

 must of necessity deteriorate, but their usefulness and 

 strength may be much prolonged by a judicious application
