The Advertisements are of Interest. 



Tni'. i)iil)lislurs are in coiislaiit receipt of re(|iiests for sijeciiiuii 

 copies of TiiK India Ri'mhkr W'oKi.n, from different parts of the 

 I'nileil Slates and from other countries, from firms and individuals 

 not known to he connected with the ruhher trade. Fre(|iuMitly 

 these requests are followe 1 hy orders for snbscri])tion to the paper. 

 I'roin time to tim^ such reiiucsts are m.ide in person, at our office, 

 and it has been noticed that the intiuirers, as often as not, turn 

 first to the advertisinj; pages, with a view to seeing wlio are pre- 

 pared to sell or buy cerlain articles or goods. Presumably the 

 advertising pages are of equal interest to those who send by mail 



for the paper. In these days, when rubber en- 



lers into such a great variety of uses, many of 

 wliiili are subsidiary to the chief features of 

 lunnerous industries, there is a growing luimber 

 of people who want to become better informed 

 ill regard to the rubber trade, and they begin 

 by consulting tlie advertisements of the leaders 

 ill the trade. 



An India-I^ubber Library. 



ri.TiM.\TKt,v we hope to have, in Tuv; Indi.\ 

 RiiHBKR WoRi.i) offices, the most comprehen- 

 sive and complete collection of books, pam- 

 phlets, and papers relating to India rubber and 

 t'lUtta perclia that can be found in the world. 

 Already a nucleus for such a collection cxi.sts 

 which contains innclvmialter of value, and it 

 will afford ns much plea.sure to have our patrons 

 make use of it. If anj- of them shoulil be able 

 to reciprocate by putting us in the way of mak- 

 ing further ad<litions to the collection, we 

 should greatly appreciate it. 



Wants it on His Desk all the Time. 



\ i.iiTTivK from a rulilicr factor)' superintend- 

 ent, referring to "Crude Rubber and Com 

 pounding Ingredients," says : "It is a work 

 that I want on niy desk all the lime, as it is 



surprising how often one wants to refer to it." 



Send Us Your Catalogues. 



Thky tell us what you are doing, and thereby 

 enable ns the more intelligently to conduct .1 

 paper which shall be of interest to the whole 

 trade. They make the best reading for the 

 trade journal editor, as they do for the man win . 

 is engaged in the business that you want to 

 reach. We don't throw them away. There arc important firms 

 in the rubber trade that have not to-da}- a copy of their most elab- 

 orate catalogues. If Thk I.Nni.\ Rubbkr Woui.n is put down on 

 the distributing list for your trade publications, it may be that 

 some day you will find our office the only place where a co))j' of 

 the .same can be referred to readily. Ami when you want to 

 examine the catalogues of some other man or firm, we shall feel 

 complimented if you will walk in to our office and say so. 



Complete Your Files. 



OiR supply of certain Kick numbers of Tiir: Indi.\ RrnitKR 

 WdRl.n is now exhausted We manage to obtain a few of such 

 missing numbers from time to time, however, and can occasionally 

 furnish them, but, of cour.>-e, at an increased cost. It will not be 



long before other issues will become scarce or unatt.iinable, and 

 those who have incomplete files will do well to order at once such 

 missing numbers as are reipiired to complete them.

" Crude l^abber and Compounding Ingredients." 



This l)f)ok was designed originally as a work 

 of reference for the use of factory superinteml- 

 ents, being the outgrowth of a collection of 

 memoranda made by the autlior, made origin- 

 ally, for his own convenience. It occurred to 

 him that the sort of information that one man 

 interested in the rubber manufacture might 

 find convenient to refer to in book form might 

 prove ecjually desirable for other men in the in- 

 dustry ; hence the jniblication of " Crude Rub 

 ber and Compounding Ingredients." The re- 

 ception accorded to this book in rubber facto- 

 ries everywhere has been gratifying, but the 

 demand has not been limited to rubber facto- 

 ries Kvidently there is a goodly number of 

 ix'rsons who feel an interest in rubber and its 

 manufacture, who have no real ccmnection with 

 the trade, and it is from such persons that must 

 be attrilnited orders which come to us from 

 booksellers and others in localities where there 

 is no rubber industry. In several of the scien- 

 tific bureaus of the United States government, 

 in which more or less attention is devoted to 

 India rubber, " Crude Rubber and Compound- 

 ing Ingredients" has come to be recognized as 

 an authoritative book of reference. The same 

 is true, to a lesser degree, of the many govern- 

 mental offices abroad. 



Price SlO. 



PREPAID. 



When To Send In Advertising "Copy." 



OtjR ailverlisers would confer a great favor 

 u])on the Publisher if, in sending in "copy " for 

 changes, they would endeavor to do so as long 

 as possiI)le in advance of the date of publication 

 — which is the last day of the month. We do 

 not desire to fix any arbitrary rule as to the latest dale in the 

 month on which a<lvertising copy will be received, for reasons may 

 levelo]), just before the printing of the paper, to make a change of 

 advertisement desir.able. At the .same time, it will add to the con- 

 venience of the business office if those who intend sen<ling in ad- 

 vertising "copy" will consider, not the latest date on which it 

 can be handled, but the earliest date on which it can be furnished. 

 Time should be allowed for sending proofs to the advertiser. 



Bound 'Dolumes. 



A IKW bound volumes of TiiK India RfiiBKR World can still 

 be sup]ilied pretty good looking volumes, we think, and we have 

 heard .some favorable things said about their conleiils. Order at 

 once to insure securing copies.
