 als. The packing would include such as Belts or Straps, 

 Valves, Surgical Tubing, etc., and free of fiber. 



2. The material of this packing when cut or torn will 

 present a dull surface. It should be delivered free of crusty 

 parings from Wringer Rolls, or otherwise the percentage of 

 the latter in the parcel should be divulged to the buyer, both

 bulator Tires, Mats, Joints, Horseshoe Pads, etc. 



I am aware that in some instances, 25 per cent, of White

 divulged before delivery.

 This parcel should consist of Balls, Children's Dolls, etc. 



XIX. Black Scrap. 2 Grades. 

 I. This packing to be free from insertion, and consist of 

 such material as Heels, Soles, Grips, Pedals, Sheeting, etc. 

 I am aware that in some instances Perambulator Tires and 



Matting are included in this packing, and while I firmly 

 believe that often such goods are of a better quality than the 

 majority of the above named articles, nevertheless should 

 these latter be included, the buyer should be advised of the 

 percentage before delivery. 



2. American Trimmings or Parings should be a separate 

 delivery. 



XX. Pneumatic Bicycle Strippincs. 4 Grades. 



1. Floating Pneumatic Bicycle Strippings. These goods 

 are to be delivered free of acid, canvas and crusty material. 

 Solid floating stock if included in this parcel to be accepted 

 as a good delivery, unless otherwise stipulated by the buyer. 

 To save unnecessary correspondence it is advisable that the 

 percentage of solid stock be stated by the seller before 

 delivery. 



2. Non-floating Bicycle Strippings. I am aware that in 

 some instances this grade is called by the following names, 

 viz., Pneumatic Drab or Semi-floating, but I desire to call 

 a spade a spade, and not a shovel, hence the above descrip- 

 tion. 



This packing should be delivered free of acid, canvas and 

 crusty material. 



3. Acid treated Floating Pneumatic Strippings. Here 

 again this class of goods is known throughout as Reclaimed 

 Floating Pneumatic Strippings, but as the word "Reclaimed" 

 conveys a more extensive meaning, and as I wish to treat 

 each grade for its actual worth, I therefore describe this 

 grade as above. The same should be delivered free of canvas 

 and crusty material. 



If solid floating acid-treated stock be included, the same 

 should be accepted as a good delivery, unless otherwise 

 stipulated. 



4. Acid treated Non-floating Pneumatic Strippings. The 

 above remarks as to trade description apply in the case of 

 this fourth grade. The same should be delivered free of 

 canvas and crusty material. 



XXI. Pneumatic Automobile Strippings. i Grade. 

 These are to be delivered free of canvas or insertion and 

 also crusty material. 



XXII. Pneumatic Automobile Treads, i Grade. 

 These are to be delivered free of metal, and also of leather. 



XXIII. Old Rubber Boots and Shoes. 2 Grades. 



1. To be delivered according to standard packing circular 

 No. 3. I do not think it necessary to repeat the stipulations 

 as to this packing, as I assume every dealer of repute is 

 practically acquainted therewith. When offering same, the 

 place of origin must be stated: thus, American (including 

 Canadian), British, French, Scandinavian, or Russian. 



2. To consist of all trimmed boots and shoes; the same 

 to be free of metal and leather. 



XXIV. Balloon Scrap. 2 Grades. 



1. Grey Balloon Scrap. When torn will present a bright 



glossy surface, the same is usually made from a fine quality 

 rubber, and all talc or French chalk should be shaken there- 

 from.

 Should this color be included in No. i packing, the fact
