New Rubber Goods in the Market. 



RUBBER BOUND SHAVING BRUSH. 



THE handle of this brush is made entirely of hard rubber, 

 and being unaffected by constant use in water and soap, it 

 does not swell, crack, or burst. The bristles are set and 

 vulcanized in a solid setting of hard rubber, eliminating any dan- 

 ger of their shedding. The setting is surrounded by a special 

 composition white metal ferrule, tapered on the inside for addi- 

 tional strength, and threaded on the outside, permitting by 

 means of a threaded recess in the end of the rubber handle the 

 ready attachment or detachment of handle or brush. This con-

struction, moreover, permits the use of a new brush part with an 

 old handle. The white metal ferrule is not subject to rust or 

 corrosion, and, being elastic, will yield to the swelling of the 

 bristles instead of bursting. This brush, which is the invention 

 of Mr. H. V. Hardman, who is widely known in the rubber trade, 

 has been on the market for some months, and tlie demand is 

 stated to be constantly increasing. [Rubber-Bound Brush Co., 

 Belleville, New Jersey.] 



PINEOLEUM OIL NEBULIZER. 



This nebulizer is especially constructed with the idea in view 

 to applying the nebulized oil without force to the mucous mem- 

 branes. The point of atomization is as far away as possible 

 from the nasal cavities, whereas in many other atomizers and

nebulizers the spray producing point is placed within the nose. 

 The metal parts of this nebulizer are nickle plated and polished. 

 The name worn by the article is that of a special inhalant mar- 

 keted by the same firm. [The Pincoleum Co., Greenwich, corner 

 of Tenth street, New York.] 



MEAD'S S. T. SELF-FILLING FOUNTAIN PEN. 

 This is a new pen, the patentee of which is experienced in the 

 rubber trade, and particularly in the manufacture of goods in 

 this line. The "S. T." in the name of the pen means "simply 

 twist" — the idea being that either to fill or 

 empty the pen the cap is twisted slightly to 

 the left or to the right, as the case inay be, 

 reversing the operation after the pen is 

 filled or emptied. The simplicity of the 

 operation is accompanied by the great ad- 

 vantage that there are no parts that can get 

 out of place. The cleaning of the pen is ac- 

 complished by simply filling it with water 

 and emptying it again. [Mead Fountain Pen 

 Co., No. 107 John street, New York.] 



SAVAGE PROTECTOR AND EXCLUDER. 



This i)alenled Protector and Excluder attached to a felt boot 

 or sock, and then made into a "combination" with rubber shoes, 

 makes for the use of 

 lumbermen or others 

 much exposed t o 

 snow, slush, and 

 mud, an article not 

 surpassed from a 

 practical standpoint 

 by any other combi- 

 nation footwear. This 

 I)rotector and ex- 

 cluder is made of No. 

 6 stuff, heavily coated 

 on both sides, and so 

 cut that it can be 

 easily trimmed up for 

 the placing on of the 

 rubber and then 

 turned down a n il 

 buckled over the top 

 of the rubber. A 

 band of duck sewed 

 to the boot still fur- 

 ther prevents the in- 

 filtration of snow or 

 water and makes the Savage Pruteciok anu Excluder. 



protection still ttiore effective. [F. W. Savage Rubber Co., Na 

 36 Lincoln street, Boston.] 



THE NEW LACED FELT BOOT. 



There has been introduced to the trade for this season a new 

 article in the line of felt boots, the special feature of which is 



that it is laced, as indi- 

 cated in the illustration. 

 The new feature renders 

 this line of goods partic- 

 ularly well adapted for 

 the use of all who are ex- 

 posed to severe cold 

 weather. It makes a 

 graceful warm felt boot 

 for a chauffer. The new 

 laced felt boot has a 

 leather top and leather 

 front stay, snow exclud- 

 ing bellows, and extra 

 strong laces; it fits close 

 to the leg, and is light 

 gray in color. It has a 

 tan pull-on web strap. 

 These goods have already 

 met a large sale.. [Med-

RUBBER SHOES FOR METAL CHAIRS. 



A VEKV large business is done nowadays in metal furniture, to 

 the use of which there was originally the objection both of noise 

 and of wearing some floor surfaces on which it might be placed. 

 There are metal chairs for many purposes, soda counter stools, 

 roimd tables for cafes and the like, typewriter tables, children's 

 furniture, and very many other articles of metal furniture, all 

 witli their advantages, while the single disadvantage is overcome
