NEW TRADE PUBLICATIONS. 



DOSTON Rubber Shoe Co. (Boston) have issued a catalogue 

 •'-' for the year 1909-10 of their rubber footwear, which is 

 naturally a very complete publication, in view of their having 

 been in operation for 56 years, and long since having attained a 

 capacity- of 55,000 pairs daily. Some attractive new styles illus- 

 trated in this booklet will prove of interest to the trade. This is 

 probably the most attractive retail rubber shoe catalogue yet 

 issued by any firm. The illustrations are particularly good. The 

 catalogue embraces the "Bay State" as well as the "Boston" 

 brands. [4%" x &H". 56 pages.] 



St. Paul Rubber Co. (St. Paul, Minnesota) issue a catalogue 

 of Druggists' Sundries and Rubber Specialties, which is one of 

 the most complete catalogues in this line that we have seen is- 

 sued by any jobbing house. Nearly every item is illustrated, 

 colors being used when necessary, in addition to which there is 

 sufficient descriptive matter, and prices are given. We do not 

 remember to have seen in another rubber goods catalogue 10 

 pages devoted to smoking pipes, as in this case, but their in- 

 clusion appears to be justified by the fact that so many of the 

 pipes described 'have rubber inouthpieces. [yii" x 75^". 152 

 pages.] 



W. D. Allen M.^nuf.^cturing Co. (Chicago) issue their 

 Catalogue No. 25, devoted particularly to the firm's products as 

 'brass founders and brass finishers. It is full of items having 

 relation to rubber goods — lawn sprinklers, hose reels and racks, 

 hose nozzles, and such like goods. Some of their packings and 

 other rubber goods also are listed. [6J4" x 9->i." 96 pages.] 



Charles Macintosh & Co., Limited (Manchester, England), 

 in their. List No. 17, illustrate many attractiye designs in rubber 

 tiling, which they illustrate in great variety, plain and in color 

 schemes. Special attention is given in this list to types supplied 

 recently for use on some laxge steamers, [9"xii". 18 pages.] 

 Also: List No. 15 — Balloons for advertising purposes, "squeak- 

 ers," toy balloons, and such like goods. [9"xii". 14 pages.] 



Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. (Akron, Ohio) issue a more 

 than ordinarily handsome booklet, entitled "Progressive Locomo- 

 tion and a Story of Progress," being a brief history of the devel- 

 opment of pleasure conveyances from the earliest times to the 

 present, and, of course, leading up to the subject of rubber tires. 

 [6"x9". 32 pages.] 



The Cincinnati Rubber Manufacturing Co. (Cincinnati, 

 Ohio) issue their Catalogue B, of Mechanical and Special 

 Molded Rubber Goods, which is fully illustrated, and relates to 

 an extensive line of products. In addition to goods usual in 

 such catalogues, they list fruit jar rings, typewriter platens, 

 billiard cushions, and other specialties. [Sf^" X 754". 96 pages.] 



The Rubber Products Rubber Co. (Barberton, Ohio) issue 

 their illustrated Catalogue D of Druggists' Sundries and Other 

 Specialties, including an attractive line of water bottles and the 

 rubber goods usual in this branch, in addition to air bags, toilet 

 brushes, and plumbers' supplies. [6^" X 8". 31 pages.] 



The Gutta Percha and Rubber Manufacturing Co. of 

 Toronto, Limited, sent out on March i their Rubber Footwear 

 Catalogue for the season of 1909-10, covering their "Maltese 

 Cross" brand. [3%" X 6". 71 pages.] Also a net price list.

NEW RING CUTTING MACHINE. 



' I 'HE illustration shows a new type of machine for cutting 



•'• rings. It is described briefly as coinprising a mandrel for 



supporting the tube and a rotary knife with an eccentric cutting 



edge, together with means for rotating the knife and for giving 



Pianarosa's Ring Cutting Machine. 



a transverse feeding movement to both knife and mandrel when 

 that portion of its edge of least eccentricity is adjacent to the 

 tube. United States patent No. 913,558 has been granted for this 

 invention to Louis J. Pianarosa, of Boston.

A British patent [No 15,542—1907] issued to J. Ohm, Dort- 

 mund, Germany, relates to a substance prepared in the usual 

 manner by the action of chromates on a mixture of gelatine and 

 glue, to which, when in the liquid state, is added flaky graphite 

 to prevent heating when used for the tires of motor cars and the 

 like. Pieces of sea sponge may be added. To prevent this rub- 

 ber substitute from drying tip, there may be added a solution 

 of pure Para gum in nitrated linseed oil.
